About Chicken nihari curry

Chicken Nihari is a flavorful and aromatic curry originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly enjoyed in Pakistani and Indian cuisines. Traditionally a slow-cooked dish, it features tender chicken stewed in a rich gravy made with caramelized onions, ginger, garlic, and a blend of warming spices, such as turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. Nihari's hallmark is its silky texture, achieved using a low-and-slow cooking method and often thickened with flour. This dish is protein-rich due to the chicken and contains essential vitamins and minerals from its spices. However, it can be high in saturated fats if prepared with ghee or oil in excess. For a healthier option, opt for lean chicken cuts and moderate the use of fats. Chicken Nihari is typically served with naan or rice, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. Keep portion sizes in check to balance its indulgent nature.
