Translations:Karahi/1/en

A wok sits next to a karahi on a Western-style stove. Note that the flat-bottomed karahi (right) sits on an ordinary burner cover, while the round-bottomed wok balances in a wok-ring. Karahi often have round (loop-shaped) handles.

A karahi also kadai, kerahi, karai, kadhi, kadahi, kadhai, korai, sarai, or cheena chatti)}} is a type of thick, circular, and deep cooking pot, similar in shape to a wok, from Northern South Asia. It is used in North Indian, Pakistani, Afghan, Nepalese, and Caribbean cuisines. Traditionally press-formed from mild steel sheets or made of wrought iron, a karahi is a wok with steeper sides. Today, they can be made of stainless steel, copper, and nonstick surfaces, both round and flat-bottomed, or of traditional materials. The word karahi emanates from karah, a bigger version of karahi traditionally used in the subcontinent for boiling milk and producing thick cream.
