Shan Nihari spice blend – Authentic flavor for meat dishes

The Shan Nihari spice blend is the key to success for one of South Asia's most historic dishes. Nihari, a traditionally slow-cooked meat stew, is prized for its rich texture and complex spiciness. This blend combines the finest spices to tenderize the meat and create a deep red, aromatic sauce.

Culinary profile

Nihari is known for its rich, robust flavor. Shan's blend offers a balanced combination of spiciness and earthy notes, pairing particularly well with beef, lamb, or goat. It is the ideal product for lovers of authentic Mughal cuisine.

Uses & Recipes

Sear the meat over high heat and add the Shan seasoning and water. Simmer over low heat until the meat is incredibly tender. A little wheat flour (atta) is often stirred in at the end for the characteristic thickening. Traditionally, serve the finished Nihari with thin strips of ginger, fresh coriander, green chilies, and a squeeze of lime.
