This karhai is incredibly easy and is very similar to the karhai served in dhaba restaurants in Karachi. In our home, we always made karhai with chopped onions. I decided to try making karhai without onions just to see if it was any good. My husband loved it and declared it the best karhai ever and I concur!
It was eaten up so quickly, I din’t even get a picture!
This recipe serves two, but it can easily be doubled.
