Slow-Cooked Beef Nihari

Let a gentle simmer bring together tender meat, aromatic spices, and a rich, comforting gravy. Made with Sanam’s Nihari Spice Mix, this hearty favorite is perfect for scooping up with warm naan or flaky paratha.

  • Prep15 Min
  • Marinate2-12 Hr
  • Cook3-4 Hr
Ingredients · 6 items ShowHide
  • 1½ kg bone-in beef or veal, cut into large pieces
  • ½ cup oil
  • 4 tbsp Sanam’s Nihari Spice Mix
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water, for mixing
  • 8–10 cups additional water
Method · 6 steps ShowHide
  1. Brown the meat: Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef or veal and brown on all sides, working in batches if needed.
  2. Prepare the mixture: Whisk the nihari spice mix, flour, and 1 cup water in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine: Pour the mixture into the pot, then add the remaining 8–10 cups water. Stir thoroughly.
  4. Slow-cook: Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Partially cover and simmer for 3–4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender. Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Thicken: Uncover toward the end if the gravy needs to reduce, stirring until it reaches your preferred consistency.
  6. Serve: Enjoy hot with naan or paratha.

Cooking time varies with the cut and size of the meat.
