About Nihari

Nihari is a traditional slow-cooked stew originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in Pakistani and North Indian cuisine. The dish typically features tender cuts of beef or lamb, slow-simmered with bone marrow in a spiced gravy thickened with flour. Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices such as cinnamon and cardamom contribute to its rich, flavorful profile. Garnished with fresh cilantro, chili slices, and a squeeze of lime, Nihari is often paired with naan or roti. Nutritionally, the dish provides protein from the meat and micronutrients like iron from the marrow, but it can be calorie-dense and high in saturated fats due to the inclusion of oil or ghee. While flavorful, it’s best consumed in moderation and balanced with lighter sides like salad or yogurt-based accompaniments to complement its richness.
