Mutton Karahi is a specialty of Lahori food, this dish is made by stir-frying small cubes of lamb or mutton with tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, and garlic in a karahi, the wok-like pan that gives the dish its name.I made it with a less fat. But taste was so good and excellent. Meat was so tender, juicy, deeply marinated in the masala (gravy) and uniformly cooked.

Mutton Nihari Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Aslam-o-Alakaum My Lovelies !!

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Mutton Nihari

Nihari is one of most favorite and traditional dishes of every Muslim home. Be it mutton, chicken or beef nihari, it can be relished with any kind of meat. Traditionally nihari made with the bone marrow meat. It’s a deliciously smooth flour based stew with slow cooked mutton and a myriad of spices. Mutton Nihari takes a long time to cook but is easy to put together.

There are lot of ready made Nihari spices available in the market. But I would not Never Never recommend. As they are full of artificial colors and preservative agents. Not a healthy approach. 🙁 You can make the Nihari powder at home by following my Nihari Masala Mix and store it in airtight container for many days.

This is a must try recipe from my Mommy. We normally make Nihari with small pieces of mutton as we prefer it over the bone-in mutton.

Photo: Mutton Nihari

Note:

Preferably it must be cook on low flame, but those of you who would rather prefer a faster process can cook it in a pressure cooker though the Nihari taste wont be the same as cooked on a low flame.

So about this Mutton Nihari recipe. As you can see, there’s no layer of fat floating on top of the nihari, As many of you know, when we go out to eat it, we want the brain, marrow and floating oil on top, not a very healthy option. My mommy tried to make it just a little healthy by adding as little butter as possible without compromising on the flavor. Less fat and believe me, just as good. Or if you do like a little oil on top, when you are ready it dish it out, leave it covered on very low heat for about 5-7 minutes. Voila, the ‘little’ amount of oil will rise to the top!

Mutton Nihari with ginger and fried onion

Traditionally Nihari served with ginger, fried onion, green chilies and the hottest crisp khameeri roti or naan.

Nihari goes great with ginger, green chilies, fried onion, lemon and Khamiri Roti.

That means organic and preferably local.First tossed broccoli with olive oil until tender, caramelized and aromatic. Then stir in born broth and cooked spaghetti. It’s chunky, brothy savory, and just the right balance of pasta and green veggie. I love the aroma of parsley and chunky broccoli in this soup.
