WHAT IS A MUTTON KARAHI?
Authentic Pakistani Mutton/Goat Karahi (Karahi Gosht) is goat (mutton) meat wrapped around a tomato-based curry, However, you should allow the seasonings and spices to mix and comes together in order to bring an authentic flavor to your table. This is one of the authentic, delicious Pakistani dinner recipes wherein it’s difficult for me to truly capture it’s vibrant flavors in words alone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TO INCULDE THE ONION OR NOT?
Traditionally, it’s made without any onion. However, my version includes onion but you have to finely chop the onion so it doesn’t interfere with the taste of the karahi.
WILL THIS KARAHI REMIND ME OF PAKISTAN?
This Karahi recipe brings me back to Pakistan, in both an emotional sense as well as a culinary one. The flavorful taste has become an inextricable part of our palettes, and I sincerely hope that it becomes a part of yours as well. Be sure to check out my Chicken Karahi.
TIME IN THE INSTANT POT!
It takes about 12 min for the mutton to cook in the Instant pot. It should be about 95% done in the IP then finished on the stovetop.
MASALA YOU’LL NEED!!!
Let’s Make Homemade Karahi Masala: In a fry pan, on medium heat, lightly dry roast dried long red peppers, coriander seeds, black peppercorn, cumin seeds. Cool it down for 5 minutes and crush them in a mortar & pestle or spice grinder, then mix powder spices set aside.
HOW TO COOK MUTTON KARAHI?
This Karahi recipe isn’t too spicy, but it’s packed with flavor. You can enhance the taste by adding a bit more black peppercorns and dried long red peppers to the masala. If you want to increase the heat, simply add more red chili powder to kick up the spice level. Pressure Cooker can easily be substituted for the Instant Pot. The tomatoes will cook for 5-7 minutes until they are in a form like this image shown below. If you miss this step the taste of your dish will lack a lot.
WHAT TO SERVE KARAHI WITH?
Naan/Roti- Traditionally Karahi is served with naan, but naan is personally too heavy for me so I prefer chapati/roti. Rice- There are some people who eat karahi with fluffy Basmati rice. They are usually from South India.
WHAT TO PAIR KARAHI WITH?
On a casual weeknight, Karahi is a star itself. However, when hosting a Dawat (party) I personally like to pair Mutton Biryani, Butter Chicken, and Achari Keema. Don’t forget to make my famous Raita.
