Bold Old Delhi Nihari Gravy with a Richly Spiced Finish

Kohinoor Old Delhi Nihari is crafted for those who enjoy a curry with a bold spice profile and deep, layered flavour. The gravy is prepared with a base of onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, red chilli powder, turmeric and traditional nihari masala, creating an authentic North Indian taste.

Slow-cooked and aromatic, the gravy develops a rich blend of spices that delivers warmth and depth without overwhelming the palate. The ginger and garlic provide a vibrant savoury base, while the carefully balanced spices create a bold, satisfying finish. The result is a flavourful gravy that pairs beautifully with meat while remaining equally suitable for other hearty preparations.

How to Prepare?

This gravy can be prepared with either lamb or a vegetarian alternative, depending on your preference.

Lamb

  • Cut 400g of boneless lamb into 2cm cubes.
  • Heat 1tbsp of cooking oil in a pan and fry the lamb until lightly browned.
  • Add 500ml of water and cook until the lamb is tender.
  • Once the liquid has reduced, pour in the gravy and stir well.
  • Add a little water, if required, to adjust the consistency.
  • Simmer for a few minutes, then serve hot.

Vegetarian

  • Replace the lamb with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or mixed vegetables.
  • You may lightly fry the paneer first or add it directly to the gravy.
  • Simmer until the paneer or vegetables are heated through and the gravy reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Serve hot with naan, paratha, or rice.

Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh cream and freshly chopped coriander for a richer flavour and an elegant finishing touch.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to add extra water while cooking?
    Yes, if required. When preparing the lamb, it is recommended to add 500ml of water during cooking before adding the sauce. If the gravy is thinner than you prefer, simply continue simmering until it reaches your desired consistency.
    Is this sauce meant for quick cooking or a longer simmer?
    Kohinoor Old Delhi Nihari sauce is designed to help you prepare a traditional nihari-style dish more conveniently. While it significantly reduces the preparation time compared with making the gravy from scratch, simmering during cooking helps develop a richer flavour.
    Can this serve more than one person?
    Yes. When prepared with meat and served with naan, roti, or rice, the sauce is typically used to create a shared meal suitable for several people rather than a single serving.
