We’ve known Ali Zafar to leave a mark with his fans no matter what he does. Singer, writer, actor, producer, screenwriter, and painter- only a legend can venture into all these careers and excel at each one of them. But… there’s one thing that ‘Bhai‘ could not get right and, as it turns out, it’s the one thing that is closer to our hearts than perhaps biryani. The Teefa in Trouble actor got in a lot of trouble recently for his ‘chicken karahi’ recipe. And we’re curious to find out what went wrong here.
Ali Zafar took to his Twitter account to share a recipe of ‘chicken karahi’ with his fans. In the video, he can be heard saying:
The art of cooking is like the art of painting. Slowly add the color and the texture, and everything else that is required to make it look, sound, and taste delicious!
And while that statement does make sense, the Mela Loot Liya songster drew all the wrong strokes with this recipe. Even if you don’t know how to make karahi, you’re likely to be familiar with its basic steps. Have you seen a boiled chicken karahi? No? Well, that’s because it does not exist.
The problem started at the very beginning when Ali Zafar started making karahi by boiling chicken. Yes, you have got to see it to believe it! And the rest of the recipe did not make sense either. Netizens were both furious and hysterical, and they couldn’t help but notice the faults in our star.
A unique ‘chicken karahi’ recipe
Before we jump into the reactions, let’s take a look at the video that has created a frenzy on social media:

Everything from that boiled chicken to the chopped vegetables squicked people out. Fans and followers had a lot to say about this whole sizzling mess. Let’s take a look:
Ali Zafar faces the wrath of Twitterati
While some netizens couldn’t help but laugh and joke about this whole thing, others were shocked and infuriated. The video has garnered over 3 thousand likes, and that’s a lot for a recipe video! So, without further ado, let’s take a look at what the audience has to say:

Well, there you have it- Ali Zafar might be an overachiever when it comes to the entertainment industry but we doubt he would ever make it to Masala TV with this ‘chicken karahi’. What do you think of this culinary disaster? Share your views in the comments section.
