When the temperature drops, nihari often takes center stage as the quintessential comfort food in Hyderabad. Yet, quietly competing for the crown is Marag, a creamy and flavorful mutton soup that is just as deserving of attention. It offers a lighter yet equally satisfying alternative to nihari with its velvety texture and subtle blend of spices and dry fruits. Perfectly paired with naan or sheermal, marag embodies the rich culinary heritage of the city of Nizams.
