Saturday Into Sunday Slow Cooker No Hurry Nihari First Time Experiment A Huge Success - IMRAN™ Nihari (from the Urdu/Persisn word Nihar for morning) is a meticulously planned, super-slow cooked, elaborately spiced, tender beef dish infused with the richness of bone marrow. It started in the kitchens of Nawabs (Muslim rulers of princely states in pre-partition India). I got hooked on it growing up in Karachi where the tradition continued in Pakistan. Some places had it in Lahore too. However, in the early 1980s I’d go straight to my favorite place (in the backstreet food places off the intersection of Tariq Road and Allama-Iqbal Road) when I’d visit my late maternal grandmother, who lived in our Karachi home. My absolute non-interest in cooking is globally-known and eternally-established. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t like to use kitchen gadgets to experiment… especially since I got my Philips Air Fryer (awesome for salmon filets) and CrockPot slow cooker. This time I got ambitious, and decided to make Nihari over this mid-Ramadan weekend. Maybe the full moon made me do it. On top of Nihari being hard to make as it is, I decided to do my own version — without firing up any stove, any saucepan, or doing any kind of frying as some stages require. I have to say, I surprised myself by how absolutely fantastic it turned out.
