I am not talking about origins of nehari, you poser nehari-lover. I am talking about the right of a particular dish of nehari to be called nehari.

And that prestigious title lies with ones in Karachi. All others are cheats, frauds, dhokay-baaz, wanna-be sad dishes of wilting meat in sad sauce.

so we will go by the copy cats .. not by the original makers ... !! makes sense. to reach the level of food of lucknow or even delhi .. u need few hundred years more !! keep trying.

Please keep religion and nationalism away from Nehari.

It is our national dish based on the current government
second part seems like a deadly pun .. but could not get it. is it because of Nehari lover SHarifs ?

A large percentage of the lucknow and dehli culinary expertise shifted to Karachi after partition

So technically you guys in India have whatever was left behind.
More importantly, there was a massive fusion of tastes in Karachi due to these culinary imports and as such both in flavor and wider appeal it has been refined.

Nehari is not confined to beef and there are chicken varieties, but the original is beef hence the difficulty of it getting popular in India. Not that there arent nehari lovers out there but due to communal sensitivities.

Even Nehari found in Lahore is considered tainted and impure by most of Karachi due to a localization in spices; although some bastions remain as a good number of Delhi dwellers migrated to Lahore.

Simply because the original consumers of Nehari(and dhage ke kabab) moved in large numbers to Karachi.

So both in terms of consumer demand and in terms of social sentiment; there js simply no way that the venerable Nehari was able to survive or progress in India as it would in Pakistan.

Kebabs are another matter as oddly the beef issue has spared them, although many visitors complain that the current Dehli kebabs versus the karachi dehli kebabs are too loaded on spices for there to be discernable flavour

@Oscar since you want to repress my viewpoint on this matter...why don't you at least teach these bhartis that Nihari is a dish best served in Karachi. Lahori version is good too, but karachiwalas know to really make it.


Btw you Indians don't eat fucking cow so what do you know about nihari?

i would like to disagree to an extend.
1. Nonveg food is not entirely depends on muslims in india. though its more popular among them. this brings me to the effect of Partition.
The most affected region by partition was delhi and Punjab. Food tradition of these two places were affected badly by partition. Same food culture get transferred to Karachi and lahore enriching them.

2. Lucknow and hyderabad managed to retain their food culture. Lucknow because of shia identity and Hyderbad becuase of distance and the fact that during the heydays of partition Hyderbad was independent.
so the food culture of these two cities ( and few more : Rampur, Bhopal, Azmer ) remained unaffected by partition.

3. Non veg does not automatically mean Beef. also beef dishes are not best among other meat ( despite the overwhelming wishes of Pakistanis).
Kahsmiri dishes, AWADHI dishes and to an extent Hyderabadi ones are not particularly known to be beef based ( pakistanis will again deny it).

4. Coming back to Nihari : Its origin is in the Draught of 1780 in Awadh ( lucknow). The then nawab started work for food programs in order to help people.
Nihari was the dish of choice for the hard work. One day nawab decided to eat and instantly becomes fascinated by tastes.
No the main point : Nihari being the workers dish of all communities and in keeping the secular tradition of awadh was made from goat meat. of course any one can use meat of his choice.

5. Popularity of Nihari in Karachi is because of nostalgia factor and to an extent due to same factor which makes MQM popular in kaachi. its some thing which they consider as their own.

6. Nihari was not supposed to be all weather 24/7 meat dish. the hot and humid weather of North and central india does not permit it. it was a specialty dish to be have during the early part of day specially in winter season. In india Nehari makers still follow the same tradition. in delhi , hyderabad and lucknow u need to reach the shop by 6 am othersiwse Degh Lut Chuki hogi !

feel free to disagree and add your own POV.

Indians don't even know what a kulcha is yet they want to try and educate us on nihari....poor Guys don't even eat cow.. :lol:
sir ur intelligence is beyond cure.
