Nihari (Pakistani Stew)
This is a traditional brunch item from Pakistan — served with Naan bread. this recipe is simple to put together but needs to cook several hours. i sometimes make it with boneless chicken + add a stock cube to get the stewy taste. if using beef - you can ask for "nihari meat" (its a special cut of meat) at your local Halal butcher shop.

To make Beef Nihari, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 kg beef
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
For the spice mix, you will need:
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 small cardamom pods (seeds only)
- 10 cloves
- 2 whole black cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
Now, to make Beef Nihari, follow these steps:
1. In a large pot, add the beef, salt, pepper, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and enough water to cover the meat. Cook on medium heat until the meat is tender. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hours, depending on the cut of meat.
2. In the meantime, prepare the spice mix. Heat a skillet over low heat and dry roast the fennel seeds, whole black peppercorns, cumin seeds, cardamom seeds, cloves, black cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, nutmeg, and coriander seeds. Roast them for a few minutes until they become fragrant. Then, grind them to a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
3. Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it into smaller pieces. Set aside.
4. In the same pot, heat the oil and add the flour. Cook the flour until it turns golden brown, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
5. Add the ginger paste and the prepared spice mix to the pot. Stir well to combine.
6. Return the shredded beef to the pot and mix well with the spices.
7. Add enough water to the pot to achieve the desired consistency. Nihari is usually a thick stew, so add water accordingly.
8. Lower the heat and let the Nihari simmer for at least 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become even more tender.
9. Serve the Beef Nihari hot with Naan bread or rice.
Remember, this recipe is just a guideline, and you can adjust the spices and cooking time to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade Beef Nihari!
