Street food Nihari — the authentic version
The best Nihari I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The rich with slow-cooked depth intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. whole garam masala was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
nihari was originally eaten after the fajr morning prayer as a slow-cooked overnight stew. The a Lahore dhaba setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. rooh afza rose syrup drink was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
