Enjoy Your Delicious Homemade Nihari! Recipe.

Nihari is a popular Pakistani and Indian slow-cooked meat stew that is often served with naan bread or rice. Here is a step-by-step recipe for making Nihari:

Ingredients:

1 kg of beef or lamb meat

1/2 cup of oil or ghee

2 onions, sliced

2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste

2 teaspoons of salt

1 teaspoon of red chili powder

1 teaspoon of turmeric powder

1 teaspoon of coriander powder

1 teaspoon of cumin powder

1 teaspoon of garam masala powder

1 teaspoon of paprika powder

2 tablespoons of flour

8-10 cups of water

Fresh coriander leaves and sliced ginger for garnish

Instructions:

1 Start by heating oil or ghee in a large pot or pressure cooker over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

2 Add ginger-garlic paste to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell of ginger-garlic paste goes away.

3 Add meat to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until it is slightly browned.

4 Add salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, and paprika powder to the pot. Mix well to coat the meat with the spices.

5 Add enough water to the pot to cover the meat completely. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and let the meat cook slowly for at least 2-3 hours or until the meat is tender.

6 In a separate bowl, mix flour with 1 cup of water until there are no lumps. Add this mixture to the pot and stir well to thicken the gravy. Cook for another 15-20 minutes on low heat.

7 Once the Nihari is ready, garnish it with fresh coriander leaves and sliced ginger.

8 Serve hot with naan bread or rice.
