About Chicken nihari

Chicken Nihari is a traditional South Asian stew originating from the Mughlai cuisine of India and Pakistan. Known for its rich, aromatic flavor, it's made by slow-cooking chicken with a blend of spices like ginger, garlic, turmeric, and chili powder, along with bone broth and flour to create a thick, hearty gravy. Often garnished with fresh coriander, ginger slices, and a splash of lime juice, it’s typically served with naan or steamed rice. Chicken Nihari provides a good source of protein from the chicken and essential minerals from the bone broth, which supports joint health and immunity. However, its high fat content from ghee or oil, and the sodium level in certain spice blends, should be consumed in moderation. Adaptations like using less oil or pairing with whole-grain sides can make it a more wholesome choice for a balanced diet.
