I had made this Nihari Masala just before Eid ul Adha, so as to have my first ever Nihari Gosht with homemade masala. Yes the recipe for nihari gosht or mutton nihari will come up soon along with many other meat dishes that were prepared and enjoyed during the 4 days of Eid. Loads of photos are lying to be cropped and labelled and recipes to be written before they make their way here. For today, its the homemade nihari masala recipe. I have worked this using the ingredients mentioned on Shan's Nihari Masala sachet, which I had cut and saved long time back... :)
