Khichra /Haleem /Daleem

“I love haleem, both haleem and which are made with similar ingredients. In which, the chunks of meat remain as cubes, while in haleem the meat cubes are taken out of the pot, bones are removed, and the meat is crushed and put back in the pot. It is further cooked until the meat completely blends with the lentils, wheat, and barley mixture.

What is haleem.

Haleem is a savory porridge made with meat, wheat, and lentils. A traditional favorite in India, this wholesome one-pot meal is amazingly delicious and nutritious.
