It is known as gosht karahi when prepared with goat or lamb meat instead of chicken.

It is noted for its spicy taste and is notable in South Asian Cuisine.

[1][2] Ginger, garlic, tomatoes, green chilli and coriander are key to the flavor of the dish.

[3] What distinguishes chicken karahi from other curries from the region is that traditionally, it is cooked without onions in the base, and instead uses just tomatoes, ginger and garlic.

This dish is common in North Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
