I'd like to make 2 things that hubby really likes...niftari and lassi. Can anyone help?

niftari? Do you mean nihari?

Mamaof3

hmmm, not sure ms sara...its breakfast, meat in a red sauce?

he was talking about nihari on the other site. Not an easy dish to make Mama, stick to toasted bread and a kick in the butt

hahahaha! But I really DO love to cook! and yeah I humbly asked the hubby about "niftari" and he was like "WHAT??? Its niHARI." (and he kindly left the "you DUMMY" unsaid). anyway, bring it on, I'll make it and he WILL eat it lol!

Get shan nihari masala, it makes yummy nihari... so perfect everytime. Be careful with the semolina/flour though... you really would have to add it slowly and gradually and just the right amount otherwise you will end up with huge lumps of flour in your nihari. (it's not that difficult though)

However, if you would like to make it from the scratch try

or Fauzia pakistani recipe site


for lassi:

Blend together 2-3 (depending on how rich you want you lassi to be) cup of yogurt (desi style one) with a cup of milk... while blending add in sugar according to you taste and a couple of ice cubes. You can also add a pinch of salt and/or mango slices if your hubby prefers salty and/or mango taste.

PS: for nihari ask the butcher for the nihari or Bong meat with nalli(marrow bones) as nihari made with this meat is quite tastier than the nihari made with the regular other beef parts.
