This White Chicken Karahi is creamy, savoury and just super delicious. I mean we’re talking about a spicy, creamy chicken curry, what’s there not to like? 🙂

Like delicious creamy chicken? You must try this Chicken Malai Tikka Boti too!

I absolutely love this version of chicken karahi, not only for its taste (which is really good btw) but also for the fact that it takes very less effort in the kitchen. You know that’s what I’m all about. If you're looking for the traditional tomato based karahi, then do check out my Easy Chicken Karahi Recipe. It's super yummy too! 

What You Need

Chicken

Ginger garlic paste

Green chillies (grinded into a paste)

Yogurt

Spices (mainly black pepper, roasted cumin and roasted coriander)

Ginger

Heavy cream

Butter

See, lots of yummy ingredients going on in this chicken karahi, and not much chopping involved!

Boneless Chicken or Bone-In Chicken?

The recipe as written calls for bone-in chicken, because it makes the recipe more flavorful. But you can sub with boneless chicken cut into cubes. The cooking time will reduce accordingly.

Cream or No Cream in White Chicken Karahi?

I like to add a little bit of heavy cream in the end for some richness, but I think it would be okay to leave it out completely. However, I would add a little bit more yogurt if omitting the heavy cream.

How to Make Roasted Cumin Seeds & Roasted Coriander Seeds

This recipe requires roasted cumin seeds and roasted coriander seeds which are then roughly grounded. This is fairly easy to do.

Just dry roast the cumin seeds and coriander seeds in a frying pan, until fragrant...this will only take 15 seconds or so. Be careful not to burn spices.

Remove from the frying pan and let cool for a bit. Then roughly ground with mortar and pestle. Use as directed in the recipe below.

Trust me, this little step, makes the whole dish soooo flavorful...you won't regret it! 🙂

    I like the way you described the cooking method of white Karhai, which is so much easy.
    I cook myself but when describing to other how to cook its a whole new science.
