👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Drain the soaked wheat and barley. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the wheat, barley, meat, sliced onions, ginger-garlic paste, pureed tomatoes, yogurt, ghee/oil, turmeric, coriander, cumin, red chili powder, salt, whole spices (cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves), and about 6-8 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
- 2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for at least 6 hours, or until the wheat, barley, and meat are very tender and have broken down. Stir occasionally, adding more hot water if the mixture becomes too dry. The consistency should be thick and porridge-like.
- 3
Once tender, remove the whole spices. Using a sturdy whisk, immersion blender, or a traditional 'ghotni' (a wooden mallet), vigorously mash and blend the haleem until it achieves a smooth, homogenous, and thick porridge consistency. This process can take 30-45 minutes.
- 4
Add garam masala and stir well. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly, to allow the flavors to meld and the haleem to thicken further. Adjust salt if needed.
- 5
To serve, ladle the hot haleem into bowls. Garnish generously with fresh coriander, fresh mint, fried onions, and slit green chilies. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
