A karahi (pronounced /kəˈraɪ/, Hindi: कड़ाही kaṛāhī, Urdu: کڑاہی; also kadai, korai, karai, kadhi, kadahi, kadhai or cheena chatti) is a type of thick, circular, and deep cooking pot (similar in shape to a wok) used in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Nepalese cuisine. Karahi are traditionally made out of cast iron, and looked like woks with the rounded bottoms. They are sometimes now made with other materials like stainless steel and copper and non-stick, and flat bottomed varieties now exist.
