Notes

Preferred to make karahi with bones.
Always cook chicken on high heat.
Make sure to not add masala before frying the chicken.
Remove tomato skin and make sure to use pulpy tomatoes as it will help to make gravy in a karahi.
Use an iron wok to get the best karahi result.
Only add black pepper to make it spicy. Don't use any other spice otherwise, the taste will compromise.
