Nahari
Directions
- 1In the pressure cooker, add oil and sliced onions and fry until golden brown. Grind the fried onions to make a paste and keep it aside.
- 2Add the meat and ginger-garlic paste in the same oil and sauté for another 2 minutes.
- 3Then add Nihari masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spices become fragrant.
- 4Add 6-8 cups of water. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 3-4 hours (or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone).
- 5Mix roasted wheat flour with a little water to make a smooth paste.
- 6Gradually add this paste to the Nihari while stirring to avoid lumps. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken.
- 7Once the meat is cooked and the gravy is thickened, sprinkle garam masala and mix well.
