  10. I would add some jaifal and jawantri to this and make the consistency a little less soupy. The addition of besan in the bhunao helps with the consistency.

    I use only beef w/bones in my nihari. I find that using goat (and paya) gives it a very gamey and strange flavor, but that's a personal preference. You might experiment with beef and see what happens.

  15. Dear Anjum,

    we are trying to replicate the exact flavour that you have acheived. Will be obliged if you could help us with these queries:

    1. When you say packet - how many grams is that? we get two sizes of Shaan Nahari Masala here

    2. Can you please tell us the wheat flour in Cups please (1 Cup = 240 ml). My hands are ery big :-(

    3. Mint leaves - half bunch - please tell us how much is that in cups - we get mint here in plastic bags ...

    4. Your ginger garlic paste - what ratio do you use between ginger and garlic?

    5. Coriender leaves - in cups please - we buy tem in pastic bags - more expensive than gold!

    6. How much salt would you add to this?

    7. Although you say goat legs (paya), I see a lot of meat on the bones - are these lamb shanks?

    Kind Regards,

    Aseem

  16. @ aseem- use the 100gms packet of shaan masala and from it use 2-3 tea spoon. Again taste it and increase quantity if u need spicy
    My adrak laisan is in 1:1 ratio
    Coriander leaves about 3/4 cup
    Mint leaves about 3/4 cup after washing
    Wheat flour about 1 tea cup
    Paya doesn't has much of meat on it , it has skin and small quantity of very tender meat on goats legs and it's called goat Trotters as well.
    Hope all these clarifies. Always first cook in small quantityp as it's always trail and error till u master the recipie.
    Goodluck

  17. hi can you tell me what is wheat flour.. is it maida or the one which we use for normal rotis..atta? err im sorry kind of confused.. and also can we add cashew paste in it?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hello , the atta I am referring to is the normal roti atta which me make everyday. I haven't tried using cashew paste before as I think it ll not give the real taste.
