### **A little history behind Mutton Nahari:**
So, who invented this mouth-watering dessert? Well, the name “nahari” actually comes from the Arabic word “nahar”, which means “day” because it is usually slow cooked at night and served as a delicious breakfast of Mughals but over time it has become a favorite street food and staple in many households in South Asia. However, no matter where they serve, the love of the river will always be there.
### **Basics you need:**
Mutton Nahari is about balance—tender meat and rich gravy. Here’s what you’ll need:
– **Mutton (or Beef)** – Mutton (typically goat or lamb) has a distinct, richer, and more gamey flavor. It’s considered the traditional meat for Nahari, particularly in Pakistani and Indian cuisine. The long slow cooking process helps to soften the tougher cuts and develop a deep, hearty flavor.
– **Spice**: This is magic. Use cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, black cardamom, and a special blend of nahari spices (turmeric, garam masala and red chilli powder) -**Flour**: A little corn or barley flour helps the gravy to go so constant, stew like constant.

Add spices: Mix whole spices like cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves etc. And mix spices like turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala etc. Let them flourish in oil.
Cook the lamb: Add the lamb chops, browning all sides. Once browned, add water or broth and then slowly cook the meat for 2-3 hours till tender.
Thicken the gravy: Mix some wheat flour or cornmeal with water, add to the pot and thicken the gravy as desired. Simmer until it becomes nice and thick.
