About Haleem
Haleem is wheat, barley and several lentils cooked for hours with shredded beef or chicken into a thick porridge, then topped with fried onion, ginger, green chilli and lemon. It is unusually balanced for a desi dish — a bowl gives about 360 kcal with 22 g protein and good fibre from the grains and lentils.
Tip: The fried onion garnish is tasty but oily; a small pinch is 20 kcal, a big handful is 100.
