    Pakistani White Karahi Thai Fusion Chicken

    Pakistani White Karahi Thai Fusion Chicken

    Karahi Chicken with Thai Chilis

    Karahi chicken is a Pakistani dish that is full of Eastern spice and intense flavors.  It will fill your home with a wonderful odor when you cook it.  The taste is just as good.  Pakistani curry is different from Thai curry and we have occasionally tasted a so called Thai curry dish that tasted more like  an Indian curry.  Thai curry is sweeter but both are really delicious.

    I decided to play archeologist and start with an Indian recipe since it is the the basis for all curries and a lot of the Thai flavor.   I tried to sort of reverse engineer what some of the early Thai dishes may have tasted like by adding a few native Thai ingredients.  I love the results and we ate every last bit.

    What I changed

    I started with a box of the Shan chicken white karahi spice mix in the picture.  There is a recipe on the back which I used as my inspiration.  The ingredients I changed were some of the unhealthy ones such as the ghee or vegetable oil.  I just switched for an equal amount of olive oil.  I also used 6 chopped Thai green chilies pulverized with a mortar and pestle instead of the green chilies called for in the recipe.  (I wish they were more specific anyway, what is a green chili?)

    I also added 2 tablespoons of green Tabasco just on a gut feeling.  Kind of literally a gut feeling right.  😉  I used lime juice rather than lemon juice too.  I added a half can of lite coconut milk to see if I could give it a bit more Thai flavor.

    Otherwise I basically just followed the directions on the back of the Shan Chicken Karahi White box I bought at the Indian/Pakistani market.

    I went all archeologist with this recipe and started with an Indian recipe and replaced some Thai ingredients to possibly recreate an early version of Thai influenced Indian flavor.

    • 2 tablespoon green Tabasco
    • ½ 8 oz can lite coconut milk

      Shan is Pakistani. Karahi is Pakistani/Afghani. Daring to call a non-veg dish like that Indian
