Mix in one tablespoon of red chili powder, one tablespoon of turmeric powder, and three tablespoons of Nihari powder.

Boil it with four glasses of heated water. After the water has boiled, reduce the heat to medium and cook the chicken nihari for 40 to 45 minutes.


It's been 40 minutes. Remove the excess from the nihari and set it aside after turning off the flame.

Nihari


NOTES:


Attempt to make Nihari 4-6 hours ahead and let it sit for a few hours for best taste. You can substitute our Nihari masala with locally acquired Nihari Masala to spare time. Include more masala if necessary. On the off chance that you make Nihari every now and again, I recommend twofold or triple the formula and make large container of zest blend and store in refrigerator or cooler. This stays useful for as long as a year.
