Like any good stew, Nihari is cooked for hours for flavours to really enhance. I didn’t want to wait that long to dive into my nihari.

So I used a pressure cooker. Blend the spices, add meat, spices and water and you have your nihari steaming ready in less than TWO hours.

If you like,You can also cook Muttun stew using same process and same spices.Let's cook my one of favorite recipe 😊.
