Shan Nihari Masala - 60 gm -NYC

Weight: 60g.

Product: Shan Nihari Masala.

Quality: A premium, expertly balanced spice blend formulated specifically for Nihari, the legendary slow-cooked flour-based stew. It features finely ground premium spices designed to withstand hours of simmering without losing their aromatic potency.

Flavor Profile: Rich, warm, and deeply comforting with a sharp ginger-chili finish. This mix focuses heavily on the warming, soul-satisfying notes of fennel (sonf), dry ginger (sonth), mace, and nutmeg, delivering a thick, velvety gravy that is intensely aromatic and spicy.

Convenience: Replicating a traditional Nihari from scratch requires an extensive list of specialty spices (like long pepper or pipli) that are hard to find. This 60g pack simplifies the entire process, providing the exact ratio of spices and thickening enhancers needed for a flawless, restaurant-quality gravy.

Common Uses:

• Beef Nihari: The ultimate, traditional preparation using large bone-in shanks (bong meat) and marrow bones.

• Mutton/Lamb Nihari: A rich, tender alternative that absorbs the warm spices beautifully.

Why Choose Shan: Shan is the undisputed global gold standard when it comes to Nihari. Their blend is celebrated worldwide for perfectly capturing the authentic, gelatinous, and deeply spiced essence of Old Delhi and Karachi-style Nihari.

Cooking Tip: To get that signature, velvety texture, mix a few tablespoons of wheat flour (atta) with water into a smooth paste and slowly stir it into the stew during the final hour of cooking. Most importantly, serve your hot Nihari with its custom garnishes: a generous handful of finely julienned fresh ginger, chopped coriander, sliced green chilies, and a heavy squeeze of fresh lemon juice to cut through the rich gravy.
