Chicken Nihari

Sounds good. My mom never makes chicken nihari, only beef. I somehow have this idea about beef only nihari in my head as well. I've had chicken nihari at some dawats and it never is good. The chicken "smells". I don't know how to explain that but yes. Perhaps I'll give your recipe a try one day. :-)

I tried your recipe, turned out pretty decent. I still have to work on it a bit more .. but did want to say thank you for sharing your recipe. :)

Re: Chicken Nihari

real nihari at pakistani restaurants, someone told me its made of camel meat? is it true? And you don't need to add salt because their meat is already salty? Where can I buy camel meat in Pennsylvania?
