Nihari (Pakistani Stew) Recipe #190562
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.

my mom makes this sometimes, its still sorta spicy, but i enjoy it sometimes, im not too much into spicy foods tho, so i dnt eat much indian or pakistani food (even tho i am both indian and pakistani)
but i usually enjoy this with somin called garlic naan, not sure if its "nan" or "naan" but its like a thick fluffy (well idk bout fluffy, but idk how to describe it) bread thing, with some garlic roasted or cooked on it

Sounds good. I suppose I can use already ground spices, though, right? With kids, it's a time saver.

faelove64 Sounds good. I suppose I can use already ground spices, though, right? With kids, it's a time saver. my mom says ya, but some ppl say that it tastes better wen its fresh ground (also if u do end up pickin up the meet from a pakistani store, u can buy a "nihari mix" box like thing that is usually from a company called "Shan" and u can use that to practically make it, and it has the recipe on the box, i think all u might need is meet and a few other things with the box)
