Chicken Nihari - The Breakfast Curry!

[TruthHidden]

Since I do not have whole Cardamom or Coriander seeds, how much of each ground will I need? Thanks :)

[TitliNihaan]

@TruthHidden Ummm... about a tsp of coriander powder instead of the seeds. Leave the black cardamoms out - they don't taste the same as cardamom powder.

[fusionhypercool]

i m vegetarian....so can i use paneer instead of chicken? :)

[TitliNihaan]

@fusionhypercool Good idea!

[bren5209]

I would like to know what is that scarf u wearing call?? and why u wear in every video? Thx!

[t19ver]

I will make now it's look easy hope every thing is ok

[aaarrrgghuk]

Nihari is my all-time favourite curry. Such a delicious and unique flavour.

I make my own version of it using lamb (I tend to cook it for about 8 hours, then eat it the day after). I've always used Star Anise instead of fennel seeds though. I think it tastes a bit nicer. Having said that, I've not made it with fennel for a long time, so I may try it again the next time I make it just to see what I think.

Enjoying your videos by the way ;-)

[speedxtreem]

It's cute and informative as for getting to know the actual spices cause I always use those ready to cook spice mixes BUT ... Nihari IS a Beef dish, you don't make your Nehari with chicken and as she said that it take hours to get this ready so just imagine where those tender chicken breast cubes will go in 3/4 hours. it's not like you CAN use beef, you have to or it really won't be Nehari.

[TitliNihaan]

@speedxtreem The original version of Nihari uses beef or lamb (or sometimes goat) for the reasons you describe. Funny thing is that every time I've had nihari in hotels in Pakistan it's always been chicken!

[BlackWolf4830]

Seems like one hell of a breakfast. Hope someone's planning to get up 4:30AM to make this =p

[TitliNihaan]

@BlackWolf4830 I'm up at 4:30 at this time of year...

[BlackWolf4830]

I'm not getting much of a "breakfast" vibe from this, but I eat thai peanut sauce and rice for breakfast, so...

[TitliNihaan]

@BlackWolf4830 Ah yes, Thai peanut sauce for.. breakfast?

[domdabombabc]

damn that looks good

[shaolinfingajab]

Mmmm! I love curry! I have had it for breakfast a few times aswell,even lamb Vindaloo..after a night on the lash... :P

Spices have healing properties..you soon forget your bad head when u have a bubbling stomach to worry about instead...

I like west indian hot pepper sauce on my sunday fry up too..nothing wrong with that...Alot of people have tabasco sauce on theirs...

[valitsaki]

Jesus! I go green even in the idea of having this for breakfast! On the bright side, no amount of coffee is enough to pop your eyes straight open for good, as a spoonful of this is capable of :P Love your videos :)

[saifon2007]

That will surely wake you up if you have it for breakfast!!!

[MarkRyanNZ]

I would have to admit, this is the best looking curry presentation i've ever seen... cheers

[azamstat]

Great.

[Anny1800]

very nice, quick n easy thanks Titlinihaan

[Anny1800]

very nice and quick and easy one...thanks TitliNihaan

[bradbro09]

OMG 4:13 made me crack up SO hard!!!

[TitliNihaan]

@bradbro09 I hope you are all better now :-)

[freebee007]

amazing Titli but how rate these paksi indian eastern food as healthy if one is on weight watchers,

nice cooking though watering my mouth sizzle

[simis7]

@freebee007 This is the 1 reason that its impossible to go on a formal diet in USA, cuz I can never figure out the portions and size and count veg/fruit in paki cooking. Since 1 dish cud consist of tomato,onion, lentil, veg, etc. the size of bread is very tricky too. Good Luck!

[TitliNihaan]

@freebee007 If you eat this every day you'll probably explode. If you are on a strict weight-watchers plan I guess it won't feature this kind of food, but my attitude is to eat a balanced diet and to try and get exercise. I enjoy this kind of food maybe once a week.

[agnesdeque]

@TitliNihaan La voix de la sagesse!

[freebee007]

@TitliNihaan

thanks feature some sugar free low calori eastern food for weight watcers n sugar patients,

I hope u have many recipies up your sleeves,

thanks

[TitliNihaan]

@freebee007 I prefer to have recipes in my tummy :-)

[freebee007]

@TitliNihaan

gr8 u have sharp sense of humour I like that thanks

[RodHullIOnceWasHim]

How does your spice mix compare to the Shan bought mix? I only ask as I usually cook this with back leg of mutton and cook it slow for about 5 hours. Would be very dissapointed if I loose whatever the hell is in that mix that gives it something different to every other curry I've ever had having waited all that time :P It's my favourite!

[TitliNihaan]

@RodHullIOnceWasHim This nihari is really quite spicy and has some very earthy flavours. The black cardamom, cinnamon and cloves combine to give it a unique flavour imho. Try it!

[agnesdeque]

Le lapin ,tu le connais depuis longtemps?Et son nom c'est?

[TitliNihaan]

@agnesdeque Il est un vrai ami. Il est en accord avec tout que je dis :-) Il s'appelle... er... Bunny?

[agnesdeque]

@TitliNihaan Alors moi aussi je suis une vraie amie ,je suis d'accord avec tout ce que tu dis...

[Junglist1974]

Hi Titli, I made this curry last night with caserole Beef. After sealing the meat and adding the flour and water, chucked it into the oven for 3 hours - it was fantastic - thank you so much. Tomorrow I might try the Kofta curry, I have 7 weeks off work (Lecturer holidays!) so should make it through all your recipes by then!!!

[azamstat]

nice

[zeb120]

brilliant work TITLI !!!

really appreciate your endeavours

[harrysmithhush]

Sorry Titli, but to me the "golden brown onions" looked more like "coal black onions" ;)

[TitliNihaan]

@harrysmithhush I've looked closely at this... They are red onions so look dark to start with at the edges. Once added to the nihari spice mix they look black, but that is the spice mix and not the onion! When I remake this in HD I need to do something about the light...

[DWR57785]

@harrysmithhush LOL - I know, right?

[xXTheMistress]

oh my god I will cook this for myself in any case! besides i think this is the right food for me as it can't be spicy enough for me :P

but not for breakfast^^

[boxdown]

I'm Saudi Arabian and love ur recipes:)

[MsDamaz]

[Matty10209]

i wish for us to be married

[TitliNihaan]

No problem. All you need to provide is a time, a date, a place, a ring, a Desi wedding buffet for all my subscribers, and book the honeymoon. I'm waiting... *drums fingers*

Oh, and of course you will need to keep me in the manner to which I wish to become accustomed.

[hezzie2125]

Put me and my wife down as a Guest....as long as you cook the Buffet Titli ;-)

[TitliNihaan]

Hmmm. I actually cooked my own wedding buffet :-)

[boxdown]

@TitliNiha

mashallah u r super woman lool

[NorthsideBill]

This looks quite wonderful! Are you on Facebook or Twitter or anywhere else?

[TitliNihaan]

You can find me and a Fan Page on FB. I don't Tweet ;-)

[NorthsideBill]

I found the FB page and have passed you along to a few foodie friends of mine that I think will enjoy your work a whole lot. Thank you for all you do :)

[TitliNihaan]

Thanks for your support Bill :-)

[sleepyfacedangel]

Mmmm.. looks delicious like always, Titli! Thank you for all of your posts over the the last week. I've realy enjoyed them. If you can't find coriander seeds can you sub it for coriander powder, since it will be grinded up? Thanks again, Titli. You are the best! :)

[TitliNihaan]

Thanks SFA :-) By all means sub powder for seeds, and enjoy your breakfast!

[andrewparker111]

Is there something about this type of curry that makes it a breakfast meal? Is it really as spicy as your last kitchen scene suggests? Made your beef biryani for Steph and the kids tonight -- they really enjoyed it. I had a leek quiche. :)

[TitliNihaan]

It is a bit spicy. I think it became popular for breakfast as traditionally it was cooked very slowly overnight. You can cook the chicken version for about 3 hours if you feel like it, and the beef version can be 6 hours plus.

[WillowBranchDesigns]

Yum!!

[Medracin]

OH, you crack me up! :P
