My Foolproof Haleem Recipe.


Haleem is one of those dishes that intimidate a lot of people. I have simplified this recipe for yourself and I because I love Haleem.

Our ancestors may be rolling in their graves but honestly this works just fine . If you follow the few steps in the video tutorial closely, you’ll be able to make this dish and it’ll be a charm really.

I like it on the spicier side , you can always adjust spice level, start with putting one tablespoon of chili powder and take it from there . You can always add more if you think it needs it.

A few notes:

* It is important to sear the meat , you won’t get a flavorful Haleem if you don’t.

* Don’t over grind your Haleem , start slowly and then see how you like the texture.

* Fried Onions, green chilies, julienned ginger and chaat Masala are used as garnishes typically.

*You can half the recipe because it yields so much but it freezes beautifully as well.
