    Why Call Mutton Kadai or Karahi?

    Kadai / Karahi = wok

    'Karahi' is the Hindi/Urdu name for the pot but they're also known as a kadai, korai or kadhi and are used for shallow or deep frying or to slow cook curries throughout India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

    So mutton is cooked in a wok (kadai) on high temperature by adding local spices. It has special taste and aroma. You can also switch the meat with chicken to make the same recipe.

    Special About Lahori Karahi

    Lahore is one of the famous cities of Pakistan where people love to eat good food. So many street foods and lively eating cafes and restaurants are there making famous 'Lahori karahi' with chicken and mutton/lamb. If you never been to Lahore then surely visit and you will love the place but make sure to plan in good weather.

    On a personal note, I ate mutton karahi at Gawal Mandi food street in Lahore. It was mind-blowing in taste and aroma was so compelling. Since then, I am in love with mutton karahi otherwise I only like mutton biryani 🙂

    Is Karahi Spicy?

    Many people also ask about the spiciness of karahi. Yes, it is! if you make it with a local touch. People from India, Pakistani and Bangladesh like spicy food so most of the dishes are spicy. Karahi is one of them that people love to eat with spices but if you are not spice friendly then you can also avoid the spicy masala when making karahi to make it according to your taste buds. Taste of tomatoes in curry makes a real taste of karahi so it can't be a substitute.
