    hi, when nihari is done then heat ghee in another pan and add 1 more sliced onion and fry till it turns into golden brown colour then add this tarka in nihari and cook for 10 min with low flame and for making garam masala u can also add 1 tbsp coriander seeds,1/2 tsp black cumin seeds,and 2 pinches of star aniseeds(baadiyaan k phool),2 pinches of nutmeg powder and 2 pinches of mace powder..for more good taste.if u cant use 1 cup ghee so u can 1/2 cup of ghee for tarka.

    Salams salma. I lived in Pakistan 12 years back for 4 years. I know how u feel but our focus should be giving out recipes to help & share with others. So don't feel disappointed if they don't put your recipes up. It's not that they don't appreciate your efforts but they have so many recipes coming in every week & they can only publish few of them. So keep up your good work & let not small things bother you. Cheers.
