Nihari is a Pakistani stew, richly flavored with spices, cooked long and slow to render fork-tender meat, and topped with ginger, herbs, and citrus. The root of the word, Nahar, means morning in Arabic because the dish was traditionally cooked all night long and eaten during the early and cool waking hours of the morning.
