Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe – How to make mutton haleem recipe. A very tasty and delicious haleem recipe made with lamb, wheat, pulses and spices.
Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe is a nutritious, filling, and a versatile dish that you can serve on any day, at any time or at any occasion. Be it a family dinner, Eid, marriage or a party. This dish looks little bit complicated, yet this is pretty simple to make.
You can even make this in a pressure cooker if you are short on time. But the taste that the Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe gets from the slow cooking method is just leagues apart from the quick fix methods. But something is better than nothing, and being the quick – fix cook that I am, in sha ALLAH you will soon see a pressure cooker haleem recipe soon enough.
Tradition has it that Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe was originally an Arabic dish, it was introduced to the Hyderabad State by the Arab diaspora during the Nizam’s rule. Local traditional spices helped form a unique Hyderabadi haleem that became popular among the native residents by the 19th-century. You can find it strikingly similar to my previously shared Arabic Food, the Harees. The harees does not have the spices like the Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe.
During the holy month of Ramadan you would find the streets flooded with the Haleem being served at the shops just being the iftaar. Ramadan without Haleem is just not complete.
Since the Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe is very rich in spices, proteins, minerals, carbohydrates and other essential fatty acids, it is not consumed for it’s rich aromatic taste but also for it’s amazing health benefits. Yes, considering you can use less oil and not make the haleem floating in it. But then, can the Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe be as tasty without it?? Yes, it can. I use minimal oil while cooking the haleem and just use little bit extra when I give the tempering for the fried onions. That way it does gets it’s unique taste and is still not loaded with oil inside it but rather just on top. Temper the Hyderabadi Mutton Haleem Recipe just before serving.
