18 Hours to Perfection: Old Delhi’s Legendary Nihari | Forked

Hidden deep within the streets of Old Delhi is a dish that has become more than just food, it has become a slow cooked tradition woven into the city’s culture, history and morning rituals. In this video, we explore the world of Nihari, a Mughlai delicacy that continues to bring people together for a meal packed with warmth, flavour and nostalgia. From crowded early morning gatherings over bowls paired with hot Khameeri Roti to conversations with locals about what keeps them coming back, we dive into the emotional connection people share with this iconic dish. To understand what makes Nihari so special, we trace its preparation from the ground up, speaking with legendary establishments like Noora Nihari and Rafeeq Nihari about the slow cooking process, the blend of spices and the carefully selected cuts of meat that give the dish its richness and depth. Cooked for over 18 hours, every bowl is layered with curry, tender meat, nalli, rogan, and finished with ginger and green chillies before being served alongside crisp rotis fresh off the stove. But Nihari is more than a recipe and over time it has evolved into one of Old Delhi’s most celebrated culinary traditions, carrying stories of migration, community and shared identity through every serving.
