KADAI CHICKEN/CHICKEN KARAHI

                              KADAI CHICKEN/CHICKEN KARAHI

Hi.. Foodies....Today I m presenting this recipe for North Indians...One of the most popular North Indian dishes is this.I think this dish is familiar to all Indians.This is available in each and every restaurants in India..It is also named as Chicken Karahi as Pakistani's call it as Karahi...

Chicken wings and breast piece are preferred for this recipe..Cut all boneless pieces lengthwise..(to a finger level).Cooking in a wok(kadai) is the main attraction of this dish. In this dish capsicum  and cashew paste  make this dish yummy and tastier.. For veggies, we can use paneer or mushroom .

For Kadai Chicken we have to splutter a pinch of jeera in oil first...I dont like the jeera taste much in dishes.. so i used here a pinch  of powder..If you like spluttering jeera use it..
