Shan Nihari Curry Mix

Shan Nihari curry mix is a ready-made spice blend for making nihari, a rich, slow-cooked meat curry from Pakistan and North India. It gives you the deep, spicy flavour of a restaurant-style nihari without measuring out a long list of separate spices.

What Is Nihari?

Nihari is a thick, glossy stew that is cooked slowly until the meat is very soft. The name is linked to the Arabic word for morning, because the dish was traditionally eaten for breakfast. Today people make it for weekend lunches, family gatherings and special meals.

The gravy is rich and warming, with a savoury, spicy taste and a smooth, thick texture. It is usually made with beef, lamb or goat on the bone, and tougher cuts such as shank work well because they soften over a long, gentle cook.

How to Cook with Nihari Curry Mix

Nihari curry mix is used to season the meat and build the gravy as it simmers. Follow the method and quantities on the pack, as they tell you how much to use for the amount of meat you cook.

Keep the heat low and give the pot plenty of time. Slow cooking is what makes the meat tender and the sauce thick. A pressure cooker or slow cooker can also be used if you want to shorten the hands-on time.

What to Serve with Nihari

Nihari is usually eaten with soft bread that can mop up the thick gravy. Common choices and toppings include:

  • Fresh naan, kulcha or paratha
  • Thin strips of fresh ginger on top
  • Chopped fresh coriander and sliced green chillies
  • A squeeze of lemon or lime for freshness
  • Plain rice, if you prefer it with a bowl

Why Choose a Curry Mix for Nihari?

A nihari mix suits home cooks who want a traditional result with less preparation. The spices are already combined, so you can spend your time on the meat and the slow simmer instead of sourcing and grinding each ingredient. It is also handy for anyone trying nihari at home for the first time.

Shan Nihari Curry Mix FAQ
