Broken wheat Haleem (English)

Hi Friends ,

Welcome back to Indian Flavours 786. 

 

Haleem

Haleem is a rich Protein dish, popular in the Middle East and Asia. As common as it is in India, particularly in Hyderabad, it is surprising to know that Haleem actually has Persian roots. It is eaten in plenty of other parts of the world but most commonly by Muslims.

Traditional Haleem is made of wheat, barley, meat: usually minced beef or mutton; goat meat; or Lamb and mutton; or chicken, lentils and spices. Sometimes rice is also used. This dish is slow cooked for seven to eight hours, which results in a paste-like consistency, blending the flavors of spices, meat, barley and wheat. But in this busy world everybody is looking for some alternatives from which they can shred the time . 

Here today I have the best alternative for Traditional Haleem and I can Bet it will taste awesome and you wont regret and will make this Haleem every week as this recipe takes hardly 30 mins to cook and it does not require much of preparation time . This Haleem is made up of Broken Wheat , people also recognize it by “ DALIYA” in India. Its super healthy and super quick Haleem .Today I am not adding Meat to this recipe as Vegetarians can also enjoy this dish but for with-Meat recipe please see "Tips by Nisrin". So without wasting much of the time lets dig into the Recipe.

Tips by Nisrin

You can always add Meat to this Haleem . Marinate the Meat pieces with Ginger garlic paste for 30 mins and cook along with Broken Wheat and Mix Dal Mixture in the Pressure Cooker. Rest whole Process would be same.

Its ok if you over cook the Broken Wheat and Dal Mixture in pressure cook unless you don’t burn it .

Don’t add too much of salt while boiling the mixture, as you are going to add Chicken Cube , but chicken cube is completely optional . If you don’t want to add chicken cube than add spices of your choice.
