Garlic Karhi Chicken
by Saadofrom Edinburgh
Recipe Story
My mother was a fantastic cook. She ran one of the first Pakistani take-aways in Tooting in the 70s. This is a simple dish, with very few spices. It sums up real 'home' South Asian cooking for me - pure, simple and tasty. Curries don't need to drown in spices and this one's been tried and tested on all the clan. My kids love it and I love my mum for passing it down to me years ago.
