Karhai ginger chicken from Summers Under the Tamarind Tree: Recipes & Memories from Pakistan (page 98) by Sumayya Usmani

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This is a great, authentic tasting karhai chicken. Super simple to do. The only note I'd add that is missing from the recipe is that the "salan" (or curry) should be pretty thick/not soupy at all, so you may need to simmer for a bit to get the right consistency.

    I added a little much tomato sauce but this was a delicious little number that even the 5 year old could get behind.
