Nihari Gosht, a classic Muslim dish, originates from the royal kitchens of the Mughals and has gradually gained popularity among people all over the world. An authentic meal called nihari, which is a slow-cooked mutton stew, is reported to have originated in the Lucknow Awadhi kitchen. Nihari is a meal that is popular both in Pakistan and Bangladesh and is regarded as Pakistan's national cuisine. On important occasions and during holidays like Eid, the traditional Nihari cuisine was slow-cooked overnight and served the next morning due to the many spice variations. Here is a wonderful royal dish that you may prepare at home for celebrations and dinner parties using simple instructions. Serve it with rice, naan, or paratha. Nihari Gosht is a sumptuous blend of spices that includes cardamom, cinnamon, chillies, bay leaves, nutmeg, and yoghurt in addition to Gulab jal. The distinctive and aromatic flavour of saffron is added to the dish. The perfume of rose water plus a tonne of spices make this the ideal meat dish.
