Dilli Diaries: Where To Score The Richest Nihari In Delhi This Ramzan

on

One of the many ingredients that are part of a wholesome Ramzan spread is nihari, a traditional Indian slow-cooked meat stew. A traditional nihari takes almost a day to cook, and that speaks volumes about the taste and richness of this meat dish. The gravy in itself is rich enough for mains, but add to that some nalli (marrow) and you’ve got yourself a platter from meat heaven! Drooling yet? Hop over to these restaurants in Delhi to get a taste of this rich meaty delight.

Treat yourself to a portion of ghee-some rich nihari at this popular Mughlai outlet. Kebab Gali serves their nihari in three different sizes – from 2 pieces to 6. So you could share (really?) or just have the whole plate to yourself for a very nominal price.kebab gali
