Nihari is a comforting curry of lamb cooked until tender, flavoured with fragrant, warming spices such as cinnamon, green cardamon, black cardamon and nutmeg. It’s traditionally served with fresh garnishes including ginger, coriander and lemon which really lift the rich flavours, and it’s commonly eaten at breakfast time in Pakistan where it’s thought of as the national dish. We’re serving it here with some delicious potato parathas which are surprisingly easy to make and perfect for mopping up all those curry juices. Also on the side we’ve got a garlic pickle, a simple veg sabzi and a cooling carrot raita.

This was so much fun and very simple to follow. TBH I just did it and then realised I’d just made parathas for the first time and the most amazing garlic pickle

Congratulations on your first parathas! This looks like an excellent evening- Happy Spicing!

The garlic pickle was amazing!

Nice job on the stuffed parathas! Sounds like it was a winner!

My 11 year old son made his first curry and did lots of the prep and cooking. His parathas were fantastic!

Whoa impressive! Congrats to him and lucky you!

Yummy lamb, super tasty, HOT aubergine, loved the freshness of the veg & tasty rice AND spuds. My photo: all prepped up & ready to go

That's great work - we find that it's always easiest to do all the prep first and then start cooking!

Part 1 of our weekend of 'Indian Feast' - the lamb was delicious! Also didn't appreciate how easy parathas were to make!

Glad you enjoyed this meal and the Parathas look fantastic- great job!

5/5

This is such a delicious recipe. The combination of spices with the lamb was amazing. The potato parathas were soft, tasty and a perfect match for the nihari. We definitely recommend this box.

This looks amazing, Guy - great job! We are so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it. Happy spicing!

I could eat this for my breakfast everyday .We loved it. Thought I knew about curry as well But Spicery has taught us some new things John and Debs

Curry for breakfast... a true Spicerer! We're so pleased to hear that your subscription has taught you some new things in the kitchen. This all looks delicious!

Easy to follow recipe resulting in a very delicious meal!!

Yum! Great job, Hannah - we're so happy to hear how much you loved this dish, and that you found the recipe nice and simple to follow too. Happy spicing!

Another yummy curry, with our subscription from #HappySpicing. Switched to beef instead of lamb, because it’s easier to get here in Switzerland, but just as tasty. Probably not a good idea to meet anyone after having the garlic pickle

Haha, sometimes having to wear a mask comes in handy! We are really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your beef version of this dish. Happy spicing!

3/5

This wasn’t our favourite box the curry was hot but lacked any depth of flavour. We did however love the potato parathas, garlic pickle and Raita. The vegetable curry was also quite bland.

We are really sorry that this wasn't one of your favourites, Alice. We always appreciate the feedback so that we can go back to our recipes and make some changes! It's great to hear that the side dishes still went down a treat.

5/5

Beautiful. Love a nihari it’s my favourite curry and I’ve had a lot of them. This was delicious and the patathas were amazing 10/10

YUM! We have to agree - those parathas look perfect!
