The Origin of Nihari!
Nihari is not just a dish—it’s a journey back in time.
The bustling streets of 18th-century Mughal India, where this soulful stew first took shape. The name “nihari” comes from the Arabic word Nahar, meaning morning, as it was often served at dawn.
Back in those days, luxury meats weren’t always accessible to everyone. So, ingenious cooks began simmering bones overnight, extracting every ounce of flavour for a rich, wholesome broth. Over time, as people found ways to include tender cuts of meat, nihari evolved into the luscious delicacy we know today.
From royal palaces to humble homes, nihari became a staple, travelling across borders and winning hearts worldwide.
Today, it stands as a symbol of comfort and tradition—a dish that warms both the heart and the soul.
Making of nihari… What makes it super delicious?
Making nihari is nothing short of an art form here at Karahi
The process begins with the star of the dish—meat. Traditionally, tender cuts of beef or lamb, ensure they’re perfect for slow cooking. The meat is seared in a sizzling pot to lock in the juices before it takes a long, luxurious bath in a rich, aromatic broth.
This broth is the heart of nihari, made by simmering bones for hours to extract every ounce of flavour. To this, a carefully measured mix of spices is added—ginger, garlic, and a medley of traditional ingredients like cumin, coriander, and garam masala.
The patience in slow cooking is what transforms nihari into a masterpiece.
Hours of gentle simmering allow the spices and juices to infuse every morsel of meat, making it so tender it falls apart at the slightest touch. As the finishing touch, a dollop of fresh ghee or butter is stirred in, adding a velvety richness that elevates the dish to perfection.
To serve, the nihari is crowned with freshly chopped onions, fragrant cilantro, and a wedge of lemon for a zesty kick.
