Beef Nihari Recipe: Spicy Beef With A Thick Gravy And Goat Brain

Nihari or Nalli Nihari(bone marrow Nihari) is no doubt one of the most loved Pakistani dishes and the traditional Pakistani cuisine is incomplete without the delicious Beef Nihari recipe. The luxuriousness and sparkle of Nihari is achieved by the slow cooking method that is not the case with snappy regular meals. Delicacy in meat is due to the dissolving of collagen and when it liquefies it transforms into gelatin, giving the meat a great deal of flavor and sparkle. For achieving the true and undeniable delicacy and  flavor of Nihari, it must be cooked at low temperature for a long time.
