Nihari Recipe at Home by Me

Nihari is one of the tastiest Pakistani foods; it is something that usually takes 4 to 5 hours to cook but still its lovers make it. It is prepared with either beef, camel or mutton whichever you like. Additional ingredients include flour, spices and some herbs. Karachi in Pakistan is the place where you can find the best taste of beef nihari across the world. However, I am here sharing a method which will allow you to get the same taste at home.
