Agree.Ah jeez. A white guy is going to tell us which nihari is better?
I think he’s qualified to review the McDonald’s, but bandar ki jaane adhrak da sawaad...
We only got guju places here that’s why bro. I’m pretty sure other Indian states give a good account of themselves.
Our taste palettes are different. Indians will like their food better and Pakistanis will like our own food better.
Even if it’s the same dish preparation and spices differ.
There is one big difference in how religion has caused different attitudes towards food in India and Pakistan
I have observed that serving only vegetarian food to guests in India is normal while the same in most households would make you seem like a cheapster and disrespectful towards guests
Rich or poor meat is always on the menu when you invite guests for dinner but I havent observed that to be the case for guests in India
This is a simplification and maybe you are speaking out of your experience abroad. I haven't been to UK or US so I don't know what sort of restaurants Indians are operating there. Maybe they have carved a niche for themselves in veggie food space and that leads to stereotyping. Much of Indian non-veg food is too spicy for foreign palettes and will never see wholesale adoption there. Tweaked versions will just not work.Agree.
Indian themselves accept pakistanis make nonveg food much better. In India because meat dishes are not as popular as in Pakistan. Whenever some Hindu overthere crave for some meat or try to secretly eat it from family he try to find a Muslim chef in India to cook it
Let me educate you guys a bit.
Nihari is originally from India, probably around Delhi or present day UP or thereabouts, during the era of the Mughals.
Karachi’s beef Nihari scene is the best. Sabri Nihari and Zahid Nihari are up there. These guys forefathers are originally from India.
Coming to actual Nihari, it comes with Nalli (bone marrow) and you could add Magaz (brain) to it. Add lemon, ginger etc as you see fit.
By the way who the hell eats Mutton or Chicken nihari.
Fun fact, some popular franchise use camel meat, but I am not sure if that’s the case.
I like mutton nihari because I like bakra in general. And regarding the nalli, I agree.
I disagree, but to each his own.I like mutton nihari because I like bakra in general. And regarding the nalli, I agree.
You can actually. Get a desi kukkar chicken and you’ll see it more sturdier than a young goat mutton.Mutton nihari is perfectly acceptable. Chicken nihari is no no. You simply can't cook chicken that long without destroying it. In fact I don't recall any place serving chicken nihari. But then some Johnny-come-lately can do anything in the name of innovation. There are people selling fish haleem too
Fish haleem???
I think this is what differentiates an authentic "Indian" food from othersThis is a simplification and maybe you are speaking out of your experience abroad. I haven't been to UK or US so I don't know what sort of restaurants Indians are operating there. Maybe they have carved a niche for themselves in veggie food space and that leads to stereotyping.

It is also a stereotype that if one wants to eat meat he has to do so secretly and get it made by a Muslim chef. This may be true in some baniya families in the cow belt. The cooks in South India, Bengal, Maharashtra, Goa are overwhelmingly non-Muslim. Not out of discrimination, but for the simple fact that Hindus in these communities have a tradition of eating meat and have no dependence on Muslim chefs.
