Nalli Nihari

Nihari means “fasting.” This dish can be prepared at night so that it’s ready to eat at the crack of dawn. This is especially handy during the month of Ramadan when Muslims eat this for their sehri before starting their day-long fast. The history of this dish reveals that it was a favorite breakfast of the Mughal royalty in Agra and that it was served with roti. It remains a favorite dish in the land of the Taj Mahal.
