Nihari is one of most favorite and traditional dishes of every Pakistani kitchen. Nihari is a leading Pakistani food. As it is made with shank meat and marrow bone, it contains reasonable amount of fats.
Steps to make Nihari:
- Begin by making the masala. Toast the whole spices in a small pan over medium-high heat. Don't add the ground spices like the photo, it just makes a mess.
- Add the toasted spices, and the ground ones to a spice grinder and grind to a powder.
- It took me around 6-7 grinds to get it uniform.
- Melt 2 Tbsp ghee in a pressure cooker over high heat.
- Add the onions
- Continue to saute until the onions toast and crisp. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain on a plate with a paper towel.
- In a separate pan, heat the other Tbsp of ghee and brown the bones and meat in 3 batches, season the meat with salt as you cook. Place the seared batches in a bowl while the others cook.
- While the meat is searing, add the minced garlic and ginger in the pressure cooker and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the chile powders, coriander, and tumeric to the cooker. Cook 30 sec scraping the bottom.
- Add the masala spices and scrape into a sizzling paste
- Add the water and the bouillon
- Begin adding the bones and meat as they're ready to the pressure cooker.
- When you're finished searing the beef, dont forget to scrape the fond into the cooker too!
- Close the pressure cooker and cook on high for 45-50 min and allow to natural pressure release. If you're doing this the old fashioned way, simmer in a dutch oven for 4-5 hours until tender.
- Prepare the garnishes. Combine the green things in one and reserve the lemons and ginger.
- Open the pressure cooker once the pressure has relieved. Remove the bones being sure to keep any of the marrow. Add the flour to a skillet and skim the fat off of the top of the pressure cooker. Add this fat to the flour. Should be around 1/2 cup of oil or so.
- Over medium heat create a roux with the flour and fat by simmering for around 5 minutes. Be careful, it's extremely hot! Let the roux cool down before adding to the nihari.
- Bring the nihari to a simmer and add the roux. Stir gently with a spatula. Try not to shred the meat too much.
- Add the reserved onions.
- Plate it in bowls and garnish and serve with toasted naan.

Foods That Can Make You Happy
A lot of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are not good and should be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether healthy and it’s good for you to eat them. There are a number of foods that really can improve your moods when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly wonderful at beating back depression. Just be sure that you don’t toss out the egg yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most important part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you raise your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try eating an egg and be happy!
Put together a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is possible as these foods have a bunch of magnesium which increases your production of serotonin. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it you have, the better you are going to feel. Not only that but nuts, in particular, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are excellent if you are wanting to feel better. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. These are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you fight your depression.
It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all excellent for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full also which can actually help to make your mood better. It’s easy to feel low when you feel hungry! These grains can improve your mood as it’s easy for your body to digest them. You digest them faster than other foods which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Your mood can truly be helped by green tea. You were simply anticipating to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is found to be packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be better. Now you are aware that it can help improve your mood too!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try these tips instead!
