Can I make Namkeen Karahi with a different type of meat?
Yes, you can substitute mutton with chicken or beef for your Namkeen Karahi. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary; chicken will cook faster, while beef may require a longer cooking time to become tender.
What are some good side dishes to serve with Namkeen Karahi?
Namkeen Karahi pairs wonderfully with naan, but you can also serve it with steamed rice or roti. For a complete meal, consider adding a side of raita or a fresh salad to balance the rich flavors of the dish.
How should I store leftover Namkeen Karahi?
To store leftover Namkeen Karahi, let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. When reheating, make sure to heat it thoroughly on the stove or in the microwave until it's piping hot.
Can I make Namkeen Karahi healthier by reducing the oil?
