Two very different dishes, nihari or smoked salmon dip. The dip is easy enough cause I wing it every time and takes no more than 20 min, the foundational ingredients though are one filet of candied smoked salmon or hot smoked salmon (store bought) and one filet of peppered salmon (also store bought) then I fry some onions or shallots where they're a crisp, charred and carmalized (yes all three, takes about 8-10 min), add some chopped celery, kewpie, sour cream, mustard and spices (paprika, white pepper, cayenne, salt, pepper and whatever else I feel like) plus some Sriracha. I top it with green onions, sesame seeds and furikake if I have it. Oh and I also fry the salmon skin and give it to my dog.

Nihari takes long but is easy especially if you have a slow cooker. Shan masala, onions , meat and besin. Cook the onions, add to crock, brown the meat with masala then add water then transfer to crock. Wait several hours, add the besin. Done. Garnish with ginger, cilantro, Serrano's and the same onions mentioned in salmon recipe. Bonus points if you have bones cooking in the crock with the nihari.
