Haleem-e-khaas as the name depicts something special. Haleem is basically a special cuisine from Hyderabad which is widespread during Ramadan. People used to have it during this period and it is available almost at every corner.The whole dish is made of meat, lentils, grains along with spices.The type of spices used while making Haleem and the way they are used in the dish makes it special from the other dishes.While it is not possible to cook the same way it is cooked in shops or restaurants in large pots, slow cooked, it can be made at home in a cooker which too came out as nice as we used to have at shops. Can be made best if made with Red meat.
Made Hyderabadi Chicken Haleem this Ramadan. Being a speciality of hyderabad and it's popularity that it is exported to some countries inspired me to give it a try. I preferred Chicken Haleem as its my first attempt, and to try any non veg dish, Chicken is the best option.The whole dish is full of aroma and flavours. Completed whole dish in 3 steps.
In First step, made Lentils and Grains mixture by soaking and then blended to form a smooth paste.
In Second step, blended dry spices to use in marinating. Whole dry spices are used in cooking Chicken Haleem.
Variety of readymade Haleem masalas are available but preferred to blend spices at home
In third step, mashed cooked Chicken with a wooden churner or pestle until it turned reshedaar and lastly, added dal mixture to the chicken, throughly mixed to form reshedaar porridge.
