Haleem Lite



I call it haleem lite as we don't use the amount of curd or fat that is normally used in haleem.This is how we make it:

250 gm mutton, cut into small pieces
2 cardamoms
2 cloves
1/4 tsp black cumin seeds ( I used shah jeera the last time I made it since I was out of black cumin seeds)
1/2 cup moong dal ( the small yellow ones)
1 TBSP. Chana Dal
1/2 to 3/4 cup Broken Wheat
1 Onion, fried and crushed
1 tsp. ginger-garlic paste
1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
1/2 tsp. red chilli powder
1 bunch coriander leaves chopped
1 TBSP. curd
Salt to taste
Oil

Soak the wheat seperately and the dals together for 6 hours.

Pressure cook seperately with enough water for 4 whistles each.

Heat oil, pop the black cumin seeds, cardamoms and cloves

Add the crushed onions and ginger- garlic paste and fry.

Add the mutton, turmeric and red chilli powder, salt and coriander leaves and cook for 4 whistles or until tender.

Add the curd and mix well.

Add the cooked dals and wheat to the mutton.

Mix well and serve hot with lemon and ghee if desired!
