Nihari Masala is a special spice blend used to make Nihari, a traditional, slow-cooked stew popular in Pakistan and parts of North India. This dish is typically made with beef or mutton, and the spices used in Nihari Masala create a rich, deep flavor. The masala includes a combination of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and ginger, along with turmeric and red chili powder for color and warmth. The spices are often combined with flour to thicken the gravy and give it a smooth texture. Nihari is slow-cooked for hours, allowing the meat to become tender while absorbing the complex flavors of the masala. The dish is usually garnished with fried onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness. Nihari Masala adds a savory, slightly spicy taste that makes Nihari a comforting and hearty meal, often served with naan or rice.
