Peshawar has introduced many incredible dishes to pakistani cusine.food from KPK is simple yet uniqie in its own self.cook with minimum spices and loaded with maximum flavours.to me cooking karahi in wok and with fresh ingredients adds more flavours and texture.Peshawari karahi is quick with use of blackpepper instead of usuall red chillies.the twist in flavour profile is related to season the oil with salt first,later chicken is fried in it.frying cooks the exposed area and seals all juices inside.I usually use fresh ginger garlic to enhance flavours and addition of little lemon juice is cherry on top enjoy 😋😋
