Nihari is a richly spiced South Asian stew, often made with a special spice blend called nihari masala, and with genrous amounts of browned onions and fresh ginger. Our much-simplified version depends on readily available garam masala (an Indian spice blend) for warmth and complexity, supplemented by the earthy, fruity notes of sweet paprika. We add grated fresh ginger and lemon juice at the very end to sharpen the all the flavors. Serve with basmati rice or warmed flatbread.
