Soak all dalein separately over night and next morning, boil them all separately.
Prepare the meat, by boiling and then de skin from bones, just like for making soup.
In a separate pan, fry onions, and prepare the curry masala for the haleem. Add ginger, garlic and tomatoes with all the spices except zeera.
In a large cooking pot, mix the curry masala with meat and dalein together with water.
Cook on medium for about an hour with lid on. (The trick is having the right consistency and texture of haleem – both meat and the gravy of dalein. In order to maintain a sumptuous well done haleem, keep stirring but do not over stir or over dry, which is why keeping a low medium anch (flame of a gas stove works best) is necessary.)
When the curry masala, meat and dalein are well mixed in together and cooked in oil add 1 cup water and again cook on high for half an hour without lid on. Turn of the stove. (To give thickness and tangy flavor, 2 tbsp yogurt can also be put into the cooking haleem.)
Remove haleem in a flat glass or corning ware serving dish.
In a little oil, fry zeera until it pops.
Garnish haleem with zeera, dheniya leaves, chopped green chilies and lemon slivers.
Serve with nan or boiled rice.
Makes for 6-8 people
Note: It is best to store haleem in a covered container in the fridge and since it has meat it in, the left over should be eaten fairly soon – within the next couple of days, before haleem goes bad.
Seriously if your r working full time u dont have much time on yr hands , so I just opened a shan masala pack , throw it in a cookin pot and live happily instead of buckin the hassle and goin thru me maa's manual , u know wha i mean :)
SHan baba hum jaysay bohat say bawarchion ki life aashaan bana gay hain . Allah unhain jaanat day :) Ameen !
Well shan and other masalas are good but your own way of cooking is the best and is a hobby for many people (me too), so let them what they want to do.
what about grain ? it should be cooked with daals and then mashed in a mixing machine, it gives the thickness to the haleem, cannot imagine haleem without it.
are you comparing home made with deba food
sugher with unsugher
& although there was no mention of a particular ethnicity of females
so the contest of caucasians is ill founded.
u dont believe in uncomplicated home made haleem? :)
i suggest make some your self without thinking about genders.
