^ Wow, there are more people out there who think the same? LOL. The stuff must be good!

Some days ago we had some other hummous with our lunch and husband said it's not better than sainsbury's, I remembered you and told him there is a karachi man on GS who tried to recreate the recipe but failed. He will be happy to know that you have been able to get hold of it again!

Well, I don't know how it compares to your Delhi nihari, but I made up some nihari masala myself by copying the ingredients from the Shan packet when it ran out and added some black and green elaichi's too. It tasted REALLY good, BETTER than shan.

Try it yourself, just copy everything from the shan packet and put it in a grinder. Quantities wise, the MAIN 2 ingredients to add (most quantity) are Saunf and Kalonji. You can get garlic powder and dried onions from the supermarket. Then add smaller amounts of the other stuff in the packet, you can leave out the ingredients that are listed as numbers. Add some black and green elaichi's to the grinder too. Lots of paprika too.

Smell it, taste it, if its not to your liking, add some more stuff until it smells good.
