If you’ve ever craved a dish that’s rich, aromatic, and just a little bit indulgent, White Chicken Karahi is the answer. Unlike its red, tomato-based cousin, this variation is creamy and subtle, letting the flavors of fresh cream, yogurt, and spices shine through.

A Different Take on the Classic Karahi
Traditional chicken karahi is fiery and vibrant, but white karahi has a charm of its own. Originating from northern Pakistan, this dish skips the tomatoes and instead uses cream, yogurt, and crushed black pepper to create a silky gravy that’s mild yet deeply flavorful.
Key Ingredients
Fresh Chicken: Tender pieces, bone-in for maximum flavor.
Yogurt & Fresh Cream: The creamy base that gives the dish its signature look and taste.
Ginger & Garlic: Crushed for that bold, aromatic punch.
Green Chilies: For heat and freshness without overpowering the dish.
Black Pepper & Garam Masala: To add warmth and depth.
Why It’s Special
White Chicken Karahi is perfect for people who prefer flavor over spice. The creaminess balances the gentle kick of green chilies, while the bone-in chicken absorbs every bit of the rich, peppery gravy.
Served With Fresh Saffron Rice
The Ultimate Authentic Food Factor
Whether it’s a family dinner or a special occasion, White Chicken Karahi feels like a warm hug on a plate—rich, satisfying, and unforgettable.
