Chicken Nihari || Chicken Nihari Recipe || How to Make Chicken Nihari with step-by-step photos

Chicken Nihari is a fiercely spicy, thick gravy curry, consisting of slow-cooked mutton/beef or chicken. Mainly, Nihari developed with the overall cuisine of Muslims of the Indian subcontinent, 

The dish is known for its spiciness and taste. It was originally enjoyed more in the early morning.

Here I used chicken to make nihari in my earlier post, I shared the beef nihari recipe, now it is easy and by using fewer ingredients...
                    

The main ingredients are chicken, dried ginger, and fennel seeds, along with powdered spices. I prepared nihari with only two main ingredients; the rest of the spices, except common spices, were not used as they are in beef or mutton. Chicken nihari is a healthy and delicious curry you may ever like to have with naan and tandoori Rotis. So let's go ahead. 

Recipe Tips: 

To prepare this recipe, always use desi ghee or regular ghee to enhance the flavor of nihari. 

 

Slow-cook the nihari over low to medium heat. 

 

For the best results, cook the nihari the night before and enjoy it for breakfast or lunchtime. Nihari, haleem, and kadhi taste even better the next day after cooking.

Easy Fried Fish is an extremely delicious, mouthwatering, and mild spiced recipe, it is known as a traditional Pakistani recipe, which is prepared with 6 ingredients, no batter required nor many spices, quick and easy to make, here I added some rice flour to the best coating on fish but this is optional you can skip it, originally in this recipe don't use any coating agent but 

I did, fried fish refers to any fish or shellfish prepared by frying. Often, the fish is covered with battered egg, breadcrumbs, flour, or herbs and spices before being fried and served, often with a slice of lemon. 

Fish is fried in many parts of the world, and fried fish is an important food in many cuisines because fish contains a low-fat, high-quality protein. Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin). Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and is a great source of minerals. 

In this recipe, very little oil can be used in shallow frying fish But can be also deep-fried, if you want some more crispy and crunchy crust on top of the fish then you must deep fry, On the other hand, if wanna have a steamed style so you just will be need of 2 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick pan, and place marinade fish on pan and cook from both sides till both sides are done.

Pan-fried fish is one of the easiest fish recipes, I guess.  This recipe for fried fish is one of my favorite fish recipes, which is common in almost all restaurants and households. Well-marinated fish is fried in a non-stick pan until both sides are done. This perfectly crispy fried fish, when accompanied by steamed rice, will make your lunch meal delectable for sure. You can see a variety of fried fish recipes on my blog. The recipe for this fish fry is quite simple.

Just marinate the fish with a few spices and then shallow /deep fry in a pan over a medium flame until it turns a nice golden brown color. Above, I have given options, shallow or deep, to taste and choose.
