Nihari
Nihari comes from the Urdu word nihar which originated from the Arabic nahaar, meaning "morning". It was originally eaten by Nawabs in the Mughal Empire as a breakfast item after their Islamic morning prayer (salah) of Fajr. After a hearty breakfast of Nihari, the Nawabs would take a nap till afternoon, when they would wake up for afternoon prayers.According to the Sushruta Samhita, lightly spiced meat broth using vida salt, zeera and asafoetida was highly rated in ancient India.
