A short guide to nihari breakfasts
Brain, nalli or plain? How to order nihari, and why you should go early.
Nihari was made to be eaten early. It cooks through the night and is at its best when the pot is first opened.
Order it plain the first time, with fresh ginger, green chilli and lemon on top. If you like richer food, ask for nalli, the bone marrow.
Take khamiri roti, not naan. It is softer and soaks up the gravy without going soggy.
Nihari toppings, in order
- Lemon first, to cut the fat
- Ginger and green chilli
- Fried onions if they have them
- A pinch of garam masala if it needs lifting
