Description:

Mutton Lahori Karahi is a popular and delicious dish from Lahore, Pakistan, known for its rich, spicy, and aromatic flavors. This dish features tender mutton (usually goat or lamb) cooked in a traditional "karahi" (a wok-like vessel), which helps enhance the flavor due to its unique cooking method.

The mutton is marinated with yogurt, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, garam masala, and red chili powder. The key to Lahori Karahi is the generous use of fresh tomatoes, green chilies, and a splash of water or stock to create a rich, tangy, and spicy gravy. The mutton is cooked on high heat, allowing it to absorb all the flavors, while its juices reduce to form a thick and aromatic sauce.

Ghee or oil is typically used to sauté the spices and tenderize the mutton, giving it a rich, savory flavor. The dish is garnished with fresh cilantro, ginger juliennes, and sometimes a squeeze of lemon, and is often served with naan, roti, or rice.

Mutton Lahori Karahi is a beloved dish for special occasions and family gatherings, offering a perfect balance of spiciness, tanginess, and richness that reflects the bold flavors of Lahore.
