Pakistani Chicken Karahi (Easy & Authentic)

Retired and told my wife I was tired of her cooking. Never tell your wife that unless you’re willing to step it up. I did, and discovered cooking is a lot of fun. Now I do much of the cooking, but we often prepare meals together.

2 to 3 tbsp neutral oil, or sub more ghee
