Have you ever tried making Homemade Nihari Masala at home? It’s a mix of whole and ground spices that’s really simple to put together and packed with flavor. Once you make it yourself, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought masala again.

Homemade Nihari Masala Homemade Nihari Masala is made with a mix of tasty Pakistani spices. It’s a total game changer—once you make it yourself, you won’t need to buy it from the store again.

Nihari Masala is one of those masalas that if you try it you'll never go back. Many people fail to include some key ingredients that I mention in the ingredients without that you'll never get authentic flavor of Nihari.

Of course, everyone knows that when you make things like Homemade Ginger garlic paste or spice blends at home, your food tastes way better. Nihari Masala is one of those spice mixes I always make in a big batch, so I always have it ready to use—just like my Homemade Karahi Masala and Homemade Achari Masala!

HOW MUCH NIHARI MASALA TO USE?

I’ve mentioned in both my Chicken Nihari and Beef Nihari recipes exactly how much masala to use for each one. Of course, you’ll need less masala for Chicken Nihari than for Beef Nihari. If you add too much to the chicken, it can make the dish too spicy—so be sure to follow the amounts listed in each recipe!

INGREIDENTS

After many years of have been trying to perfect Homemade Nihari Masala, I finally got it. Even though every ingredient is important here is the list of the most the most prominant ingredients in this masala.

Nutmeg and Mace – These spices give Nihari its signature flavor. Without them, you just won’t get that classic, authentic Nihari taste.
Dried Ginger Powder – This is a must-have for Nihari. It adds a unique flavor that you can’t replace—it’s what helps make Nihari taste like real Nihari!

HOW TO MAKE NIHARI MASALA?

Transfer it into a bowl, add powdered spices and salt.

Store it in a jar with the label and use it when you're making Nihari next time.

HOW LONG WILL THE MASALA LAST?

This Nihari Masala will stay fresh for 6–8 months. Just make sure to store it in an airtight jar. You can keep it in the refrigerator or at room temperature—either way works just fine. My mom keeps hers in the fridge, but I store mine in my spice cabinet, and it lasts just as well!
