Daighi Chicken Shorba is a delicious and hearty soup that is popular in Pakistani and Indian cuisine. The word “daighi” refers to the traditional cooking pot in which the dish is made, which is typically a large, heavy-bottomed pot.

To make this dish, chicken is simmered in a flavorful broth that is made with onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The soup is typically finished with fresh cilantro, mint leaves, and a squeeze of lemon juice to add brightness and freshness.

Daighi Chicken Shorba is often served with naan or roti, which is used to soak up the delicious broth. It’s a comforting and satisfying dish that is perfect for cold winter nights or anytime you’re craving a warm and flavorful soup.
