Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 Kg Beef meat
  • 1 cup Wheat flour
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tsp Ginger paste
  • 1 tsp Garlic paste
  • 3 Green Chilies
  • Cilantro
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Red chili powder
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Store-bought Nihari masala

Instructions
 

  • Caramelize onions in hot oil for garnish; I'm not using it in the beef Nihari. After browning, remove and set aside once fully browned. Enhance flavor without using it in the stew.
  • Moving on, introduce the garlic-ginger paste into the heated oil, stirring gently for one minute over low heat.
  • I've pre-boiled the beef; if not, pressure cook it first. You can also use Instant Pot, but I prefer the slow cooker. Add a splash of water for deglazing, stir, and let it simmer on a medium flame for 2 minutes. 
  • Let's spice things up! Add the ground spices and salt to the stew, stirring thoroughly. Allow the spices to infuse into the meat for 2 minutes. Keep the flame at medium heat.
  • Pour two glasses of water into the stew, adjusting to your liking. Add flour mixture, stir for 2 minutes, then let it simmer for 6-8 minutes on low heat, stirring periodically.

Notes

How To Prepare Wheat Flour Mixture 

  • Begin by taking a bowl.
  • Measure one cup of wheat flour and add it to the bowl.
  • Pour 1.5 to 2 cups of water into the bowl with the wheat flour.
  • Mix the water and wheat flour thoroughly until the mixture becomes fluffy and thick.
  • You can use a whisk to achieve the desired consistency for a denser mixture.
  • Ensure that there are no lumps and that the mixture is well-blended.
  • Your wheat flour mixture is now ready to be used in your recipe.
