Tofu Karahi

🇵🇰 Pakistani

Karahi cooking at its best: Tofu tossed in a blazing karahi with tomatoes, green chilli and crushed spices, reduced until the oil separates — the unmistakable sign of a proper Pakistani masala.

    Finish with ginger juliennes, green chilli and coriander, and serve straight from the karahi with naan.

Chef's tip
