Nihari

Method

1. 1

   Brown onions in oil; add beef and all ground spices, sear well.

2. 2

   Cover deep with water and simmer on the lowest flame 4–5 hours (or overnight in a low oven).

   💡 Nihari refuses to be hurried. The marrow melting into the gravy IS the recipe.

3. 3

   Whisk toasted flour with water; stream in and simmer 20 minutes to a silky, clinging gravy.

4. 4

   Serve with ginger juliennes, cilantro, lemon and naan for the ritual dip-and-tear.
