I've heard so much good stuff about chef zakir, I came across his nahari recipe and I tried it. And well... it kinda sucked :S
I wouldn't underrate my cooking skills, so dunno what I did wrong. But he basically advised to simply cook the nahari goshti (it was a recipe primarily for chicken nahari) in salt, red chilli powder and to add this little cheese-cloth pouch with a tbsp or so of sonth (dried whole ginger) and saunf (aniseed). I just have this little stainless steel ball so I put the sonth n saunf in that. And well, it totally sucked :S Dunno what I did wrong. I had to eventually give a healthy sprinkling of shaan's nahari masala to bring out the flavor.
Could also be cuz I don't really like chicken nahari,. but I had to do with chicken since I didn't have no veal on me..
my mother made nihari of chicken using chef zakir recipe and believe me it was AWESOME...i couldn't believe that only two ingredients and such a delicious nihari...
