How to Make Creamy Wheat Halim with Heavenly Flavor You’ll Lick Your Fingers For + Video

According to the Cooking Service of SaedNews, wheat haleem is one of the most delicious dishes, highly popular during the months of Muharram and Ramadan. During Ramadan, it is considered an exceptionally tasty and suitable dish for Iftar. This flavorful dish is most often served for breakfast. While there are various recipes for haleem, the most common method involves preparing it with wheat and bulgur.

For making a tasty homemade or religious-offering haleem, red meat—especially lamb—or turkey is preferred. However, some people occasionally make it with chicken, though the flavor is comparatively milder.

Ingredients for Wheat Haleem with Meat:

  • 500g peeled wheat

  • 300g turkey or lamb meat

  • 1 onion

  • 18 cups of water

  • Salt

  • Butter or ghee

  • Sesame seeds

  • Cinnamon

  • Sugar

Tips for Cooking a Delicious Homemade Wheat Haleem:
Haleem is highly nutritious due to its wheat and meat content. Wheat provides zinc, iron, magnesium, and niacin, and if whole-grain wheat is used, it can also help with many digestive ailments.

To Cook Haleem Faster:
Using wheat bulgur can significantly reduce the cooking time for homemade haleem.

Sugar Substitutes for Serving Haleem:
Adding sugar is entirely optional. Depending on personal taste, haleem can be served with either sugar or salt.
