Magic of Nehari !

[LA se Karachi]

Lolll..

I am a Nihari Chef by the way.. I cook one of the best Nihari's (my friends tell me) And I have plans to open a Nihari restaurant soon.

Care to share your recipe?

If it comes anything close to Karachi's finest niharis, I will be forever grateful.

I learnt it from my mother. The closest version I could find on youtube.

The only difference between him and my recipe, he puts the "whole Coriander" and takes it out later, I put ground coriander (and you can't take it out).

Interesting. I like his videos, though I haven't tried that particular recipe. He also made another video trying to imitate Javed Nihari. I'm wondering if you've seen it?

You also need to be careful about the quantity of the spices. This is the most difficult part. This has to be perfected based on the country of particular spices you are using.. For example, Lahori namak is used in a different quantity while the table salt that we use in UAE requires different quantity. Indian/ Sri Lankan red chilli has to be put in different quantity and Pakistani has a different quantity. You will have to make it at least 10-15 times before the quantity of ingredients is perfected. Once you do that, you shouldn't change the brands of spices.

No I haven't, thanks for sharing

BTW, don't put yourself into too much trouble. Try Shan masala and use pressure cooker. You will get very delicious Nihari..

It is beef nihari, the proper nihari. There is no nihari that can match Javed Nihari.

if u care to ask mr Javed about his origin and style .. i am 110% sure that he will refer to delhi.
In delhi they make Nihari exactly like this ( either beef or Mutton). addition of magazj is strictly pakistani innovation. u wont find it in delhi.

To be very honest, the first pic above is called "Salan" in our country..




The first pic is "Qorma", not nihari, second one is nihari..

dear sir.. 1st one is the Nihari from Lucknow. they dont make it fiery hot and red.
the second one is the delhi style.

ALL YOU GUYS ARE BEING RUDE TO SOMEONE SITTING IN OFFICE AND WITH NO TIME TO GO OUT FOR NIHARI!!

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

It was an eating place with a signboard “Delhi ki Mashhoor Nihari”. It was close to the Liaqat Bagh end of College Road. A bakery called ‘Student Bakery’ was also nearby.

I have not been to Rawalpindi for more than 10 years, last time I drove along the Liaqat Garden there were many tyre repair shops on the College Road.

Rawalpindi has changed so much that I could not recognize the place at all. Regret my inability to elaborate further.

Most of the time I had Kunna Gosht was at the home of my maternal uncle in Faisalabad who used to live close to Zail Ghar at the end of Katcheri Bazaar. He had an excellent cook from Chiniot who claimed that the dish was a Chinioti specialty. Sadly my uncle passed way ages ago and the cousins have since moved to People's Colony.

My wife took the recipe from a friend and we cook Kunna Gosht at home on occasion.

Kunna > Nihaari anytime of the year.

Next time you are in Faisalabad, try Naeem ka kunna and Biryani and you will not regret it.

Coming from a Chiniyoti.

At least you are in Pakistan.. I am not even in Pakistan, not even in Dubai. I am in Abu Dhabi where you don't find good Nihari..

That's why I have perfected the way of cooking Nihari at home. But sometimes you just need it fully prepared..

By the way, try using Shan Masala to avoid hassle. It produces delicious Nihari as well.

You can use pressure cooker (for 45 minutes from when it starts whistling) to make the meat tender. Do it as mentioned on Shan Masala box, except cooking it for 8-10 hours. That's where you can use pressure cooker. I am sure you will like it very much..

I try making things without using any of the packets....

Tht vid, u shared....i have seen tht vid before..but found it bit confusing......but i want to know the exact quantities of ingredients? If you can share, exact quantities of ingredients of your version ( or your mother's version..as u say) ...esp how much water, and then aata to use proportionately, depending on meat? Mujh se hamesha is main garbar hoti hai..i never get the texture of nihari right..like tht of restaurant style nihari......and ofcourse need quantities of spices....as per your version

The "Chiniot Pakwan" on Chenone road also serves nice Kunna!!
(may be they are the same)
I however prefer it from a Chinioti cook in Jinnah colony (sadly he makes on order only )
