Shinwari Karahi — The Tribal Lamb Fat Karahi
The Shinwari tribe's legendary karahi — bone-in mutton cooked only in lamb tail fat, salt, cracked black pepper, and green chillies. No garlic, no tomatoes, no garam masala. Pure meat, pure fire, pure smoke.
Shinwari Karahi Balochi Style
Shinwari Karahi, made Balochi style, blends the minimalist spicing of Balochistan with the signature fat-forward cooking technique of the Shinwari tribe — the result is a deeply satisfying, robustly flavoured karahi with extraordinary depth from minimal ingredients.
