It is said that nalli nehari is best enjoyed in winter and has been a popular breakfast dish, which likely originated during the Mughal rule; during Shah Jahan’s time, according to some food historians.
The word ‘nehari’ is believed to have come from the Arabic word ‘nahar’ meaning ‘morning’.
It is a mutton stew (usually shank of goat or lamb) cooked in a closed pan with spices.
Usually, diners eat it with a side of bread.
Aminia, one of the city’s popular restaurant chain, is offering a winter special nalli nihari at its Rajarhat outlet where you can lap up the stew with taftan, a leavened flour bread.
Aminia has added two new starters to its winter menu too – Tandoori Chicken Wings and Mutton Seekh Lucknowi.
You may end your meal with a hearty Gajar Ka Halwa for dessert.
