If you grew up in a Pakistani home, chances are you’ve had Nihari on a slow Sunday morning or at special family gatherings. The name itself comes from Nahar, an Arabic word meaning “morning” — a nod to how it was traditionally eaten for breakfast after Fajr prayers. Nihari is a rich, spicy beef stew that simmers for hours until the meat is fall-apart tender and the gravy thickens into something magical. At Anjee’s Kitchen, this recipe honours tradition but simplifies the process for home cooks and beginners. Whether you’re making it for a celebration or just treating yourself, this version brings the depth of flavour without needing a restaurant setup.
