A rich spicy sauce, this dish is traditionally cooked in karahi - a pot that looks like a cross between a wok and deep sided fry pan. It's perfect for entertaining guests with its rich spicy sauce. Serve with plenty of homemade roti for mopping up the sauce, although you can also serve it with rice.
