Hi, my name is Faizan.
I’m a founder of Abey KHAO.
At Abey KHAO, customers embrace deaf culture
and place orders using sign language.
We are bridging the communication gap
between deaf and hearing communities.
Hello everyone! Today, I am making Chicken Karahi.
It’s an ideal dish to serve guests from Pakistan.
It’s easy to make and has a short preparation time.
Let’s get started.
First add oil.
Wait until it gets warm.
Now, I will add chicken (1/2 kg).
Cook the chicken until it gets golden brown.
If you don't do this first, it won't taste as good.
I travelled to the USA
with the deaf and hard of hearing team
for the International Visitor Leadership Program,
or "IVLP" in October 2016.
The chicken has turned golden brown. It looks good.
Now, is the perfect time to add tomatoes.
Tomatoes are a very important part of Pakistani cuisine.
Without them, food doesn’t look as good.
Now, I will add different spices.
1 Tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 Tsp Garam Masala
1 Tsp Turmeric Powder
2 Tsp Red Chili Powder
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Coriander Powder
To combine all the flavors, mix it well.
We have to cook it until the sauce has thickened.
In the USA, we met deaf and hard of hearing leaders,
and learned about
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
IVLP supported us to work for mainstreaming
deaf and hard of hearing
communities in Pakistani society.
The sauce has thickened nicely.
Don't forget to add lemon juice at the end.
The Chicken Karahi took about 15 minutes to cook.
So don't forget lemon at the end!
It’s about done. I am going to dish it out.
I will add two things to garnish.
The first is ginger.
It’s good for health and it adds a really nice aroma in food.
The second garnish is green chilies.
Finally, it’s ready!
I prefer eating it with flat bread
but you can also have it with rice.
Let's taste it.
It tastes amazing!
Now, it's your turn to make it.
Stay home, stay safe. Bye!
