Haleem

Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.

1. 1Prepare the Meat and LentilsIn a large pot, combine the meat, soaked wheat, soaked lentils, garlic paste, ginger paste, chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Add enough water to cover the ingredients by about 2 inches. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender and the lentils are fully cooked. This process should take about 1.5 - 2 hours.
2. 2Blend the MixtureOnce the meat and lentils are cooked, use a hand blender to blend the ingredients until smooth. If you prefer some texture in your Haleem, you can blend it less thoroughly.
3. 3Prepare the TarkaIn a separate pan, heat the ghee or oil. Add the chopped onions and fry until they're golden brown. Add the Haleem Masala to the onions and fry for another 2-3 minutes until the masala is well mixed with the onions and ghee.
4. 4Combine the Tarka and HaleemAdd the Tarka (onion and spice mixture) to the pot of Haleem and stir well. Let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld together.
5. 5Garnish and ServeServe the Haleem hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves, lemon slices, fried onions, and chopped ginger. It can be eaten with naan, rice, or even on its own.
