Mutton Karahi

Mutton Karahi  is a traditional dish of Pakistan which is popular in both the rural and urban areas of the country. It is notable in North Indian cuisine too. It has a great significance at the festival of EID UL ADHA where  this dish normally adorns the table. This dish is made in a Karahi (A  heavy cast iron pan rounded like a wok with a flat bottom) It generally  takes about  an hour and fifteen minutes to prepare and cook. It can be stored for later consumption. It can be served with nan, paratha or rice. This dish is one of the hallmarks  of Indian and Pakistani cuisine. 

I generally cook it and serve  it hot off the stove. I also save  some for the  next day as the flavors are richer and more complex. It is garnished with julienne ginger, green chilies and cilantro. 

A Pakistani or an Indian cuisine menu card is usually incomplete without this scrumptious dish.
