Haleem

Today I am grateful for and admire the value of an amazing cuisine called "Haleem". This dish is a complete meal and time-consuming to prepare. Haleem is a favourite in all generations including children, youth, adults and seniors. I recognize and appreciate its significance for a variety of reasons, for instance:

• Haleem is prepared with a variety of lentils, rice, meat, onions, ginger - garlic paste, species, oil and garnish with coriander, fried onion, mint, green chillies, ginger, lemon and added chat masala

• Haleem has a variety of versions such as daleem, khichra, dal ghotala or mix dal masala. Its various flavours are now prepared, for instance, chicken, meat, beef, vegetarian and fish or prawn haleem

• Haleem has a specific season in Pakistan in the first month of the Islamic year. People do prepare and distribute haleem. Preparing haleem is a traditional and cultural activity, the community get involved, stay whole night, chat and enjoy each other company. They drink tea and light snacks and in the morning they distribute/share and eat haleem

• Haleem is a whole meal due to the ingredients. It is full of protein, fibre, vitamins and nutrients. It has a spicy and salty taste. People do enjoy eating haleem with a spoon, roti, nan, sheermal, taftan, bread or pita

• Haleem is served in formal and informal gatherings, gettogether, potlucks, birthdays, weddings, engagement ceremonies, dinner, lunch or in a buffet. Karachi haleem is very famous in Pakistan and you may find a variety of vendors on the streets and roadways

• This is my journey and personally, I love mutton haleem. Today I cooked and enjoyed then thought to write a gratitude blog on this meal
