mixture of soft beef, lentils, and wheat has a rich, velvety texture that will
tickle your taste buds. With the help of this recipe, you may make a delectable

**Ingredients:**
- Boneless meat ----------------- One kilo (For optimum
results, use soft meat like lamb or beef)
- Onion ------------------- 1 medium in size finely cut
piece
- Ground coriander ----------- One tablespoon
- Wheat ---------------- (Broken or cracked wheat is often
used for Haleem.) 1 cup
- Lentils Mung -------------- a cup
– Chickpeas ------------------ 1 cup
- Oil ------------------ 1 cup (To have a more full taste,
add ghee.)
- Ginger Garlic Paste (3) three teaspoons
- Salt ----------------- (Taste may be adjusted) 3 teaspoons
Lentils Masoor ----------------- 1 cup
- Chili Powder, Red ---------------- Three tablespoons
(adjust to your preferred spice level)
- Powdered cumin ----------------- One teaspoon
- Ground coriander One teaspoon ------
- Lentils Arhar ------------- 1 cup
Instructions:
1. Prepare the wheat and lentils in the
following order: Before food preparation, rinse and soak all the
lentils—including the wheat, mung, chickpea, masoor, and arhar—for at least two
hours and possibly three. This will facilitate quick mixing and simple cooking.
Boil and blend:
2. Boil both of the lentils and the wheat
separately until tender and fully cooked. To hasten the procedure, use a
pressure cooker. Once they've been cooked, thoroughly combine them to create a
thick and homogeneous paste. For this phase, you may use a food processor or
hand blender. The paste should have a smooth, not too runny, consistency.
3. Sauté onions: Heat the oil (or ghee) over a medium-high
flame in a different big pot or a deep frying pan. Add half of the chopped
onions, and then cook them in a skillet until golden brown. This gives the
Haleem a pleasant taste and scent. Take out the onions that are cooked and save
them for subsequent garnishing.
Sauté and Brown
4. Sauté and Brown Garlic a paste of ginger should be
added to the same pot with the remaining oil and sautéed for a minute to remove
the raw scent. Add the boneless beef pieces to the saucepan and cook them for a
further few minutes, or until they are well browned all over. To keep the food
from sticking to the bottom, stir periodically.
5. **Spice it up**: Sprinkle the meat with salt, red chili
flakes, cumin, and coriander powder. Whisk well to evenly distribute the spices
over the meat.
Cook the Meat:
6. Cook the Meat: Cook the beef, covered, in an adequate
quantity of water over a medium-low heat until it is cooked and breaks apart
easily. According to the sort of meat used, this can need some time. A pressure
cooker is another option for accelerating the cooking of meat.
7. Mix all of the ingredients: Add the combined lentil and
wheat mixture to the saucepan once the meat is cooked. Make sure to thoroughly
combine everything, making sure there are no lumps, and simmer on a low flame
for at least an hour. The flavors will melt together more and more as it
simmers, producing a delightful Haleem.
8. **Adjust and Garnish:** At this point, adjust the
seasoning. The Haleem may be thinned down if you feel it to be too thick by
adding water. For an explosion of flavor, garnish the Haleem with the fried
onions, chopped fresh coriander, ginger, green chile, and a squeeze of lemon
juice.
**Tips & Tricks:**
- To ensure they achieve the correct
texture before combining, the lentils and wheat must be cooked separately.
Additionally, it aids to generate a meal with a smoother consistency.
- You may cook the beef and fry the onions in a mixture of
ghee and oil for a more conventional taste.
- Avoid over-blending the lentils and wheat to prevent the
mixture from becoming too thin. Just enough blending will produce a smooth
paste.
- When cooking the meat, use patient. Meat that is cooked
slowly over low heat will be delicious and soft, blending wonderfully with the
lentils and wheat.
- Haleem has a tendency to thicken as it cools, so adding
additional warm water may be necessary to get the correct consistency when reheating
leftovers.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level to suit your tastes.
For added flavor, you may add entire spices like bay leaves, cardamom, and
cinnamon while the food is cooking.
- Haleem tastes better and has more richness when served
with a dab of ghee on top.
