About Chicken Karahi Cut
Chicken karahi cut is bone-in chicken portioned specifically for the karahi cooking style — medium pieces that hold their shape and release flavor into the gravy as they cook. This is the cut used in restaurant-style Karachi karahi, where the bone adds richness to the masala that boneless chicken simply can't replicate. We cut a whole chicken into karahi-sized pieces by hand rather than using pre-packed portions, so the sizing stays consistent.
Cut & Portion Information
Chicken karahi cut is prepared from a whole chicken, jointed into 8–10 medium bone-in pieces per kilogram, covering breast, leg and thigh portions. A 1kg order is generally enough for a karahi serving 3–4 people as a main course. If you're cooking for a larger gathering, order in multiples of 1kg and we'll portion it the same way.
Bone-In, Skin-On by Default
Chicken karahi cut is bone-in and skin-on by default, which is how it's traditionally prepared for karahi — the skin renders down into the masala and the bone adds depth to the gravy during cooking. If you'd prefer it skinless, we can remove the skin on request, though we'd recommend keeping it on for the most authentic karahi flavor.
Minimum Order & Preparation Options
Minimum order for chicken karahi cut is 1kg. Pieces are jointed to a medium karahi size as standard. We can cut them slightly smaller for faster cooking or leave larger pieces if you prefer a chunkier karahi — just mention your preference when ordering.
Recommended Dishes
This cut is made for chicken karahi and chicken handi, and also works well in white karahi, tawa chicken and other bone-in curry preparations where you want the bone to flavor the gravy.
Cooking Recommendations
Cook chicken karahi cut on medium-high heat with the lid on for the first several minutes to let the bone-in pieces cook through evenly, then uncover to reduce the gravy. Bone-in chicken generally needs 20–25 minutes of cooking time, longer than boneless cuts, so don't rush the process — the meat should be tender and easily pulling away from the bone when done.
Storage & Freshness
Refrigerate immediately after delivery and use within 24 hours for best freshness. Bone-in chicken can also be frozen for up to one month in an airtight bag; thaw fully in the refrigerator before cooking to ensure it cooks evenly.
