Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 0.25 cup ghee

- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 3 tablespoons Nihari masala
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

- 4 cups beef bone broth
- 4 cups water
- 3 green chilies, sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 large lemon wedges

Instructions
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the beef stew meat and sear for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
Stir in Nihari masala, salt, and red chili powder, mixing well with the meat.
Dissolve the chickpea flour in 1 cup of water to form a slurry and add to the pot.
Pour in the beef bone broth and remaining 3 cups of water.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 hours or until the beef becomes tender.
Occasionally stir the Nihari and skim off any excess fat that rises to the surface.
Adjust seasoning if necessary. Once cooked, the gravy should be thick and aromatic.
