SAEDNEWS: How to Make Traditional Halim | Step-by-Step Cooking Tutorial
According to Saed News Cooking Service, wheat haleem is a very delicious dish that has many fans during the months of Muharram and Ramadan. In Ramadan, it is also considered a very tasty and suitable iftar meal. This flavorful dish is most commonly served for breakfast. It can be prepared in different ways, but the most traditional method is making haleem with wheat and bulgur.
For a more delicious or ceremonial (nazri) haleem, red meat—especially lamb or turkey—is usually preferred. However, some people also prepare it with chicken, though it tends to be less flavorful.
Peeled wheat: 500 g
Turkey or lamb meat: 300 g
Onion: 1
Water: 18 cups
Salt
Butter or animal oil (ghee)
Sesame
Cinnamon
Sugar
Haleem is highly nutritious due to its combination of wheat and meat. Wheat is a source of zinc, iron, magnesium, and niacin. If whole wheat (bran-containing wheat) is used, it may also help with various digestive issues.
To reduce cooking time:
You can use cracked wheat (bulgur) instead of whole wheat to shorten the cooking process.
Sugar for serving:
Adding sugar is completely optional. Depending on personal taste, haleem can be served with either sugar or salt.
