Girls Valentines Day Is approaching ,if you are thinking to surprise your dear one with some recipes, then I can give you an idea.The best best recipe that every guy is attracted to is hyderabadi famous  haleem recipe. I dont know whats with these guys and with lot of meat and infact creamy , mushy texture, but they go crazy about them , speaking from day today experience. It may because of their testosterone or they are from Mars or watever. Just not men but kids too love them because it looks like baby food , no effort needed to chew.
Girls will like it too but not compared to the amount men dig in.So enjoy the recipe, don't get intimidated by the ingredients it's so easy to make , less job and effort.All you have to do is set everything in pan which takes around 30 min only and just let it cook on slow flame preferably with dum for 2 to 3 hrs.Just like briyani.
Haleem is sold as a snack food in bazaars throughout the year. It is also a special dish prepared throughout the world during the Ramadan and Muharram months of the Muslim Hijri calendar, particularly among Iranians, Pakistanis and Indian Muslims.
In India, Haleem prepared in Hyderabad during the Ramadan month, is transported all over the world through a special courier service. Haleem is traditionally cooked in large, wood-fired cauldrons.[5]
Haleem is also very popular in Bangladesh, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, when it is a staple dish.
In Pakistan, Haleem is available all year round in most Pakistani restaurants around the world. Haleem is sold as a snack food in Pakistani bazaars throughout the year.
A traditional Haleem is made by firstly soaking wheat, barley and gram lentil overnight. A spicy meat gravy called Korma is prepared until the meat becomes tender. The wheat, barley and gram are boiled in salt water until they are tender. The cooked wheat, barley and lentils are then mixed with the meat (Beef or Mutton orChicken) gravy and blended with a heavy hand mixer to obtain a paste-like consistency. The cooking procedure takes about 6 hours to be completed. However, Haleem preparation varies in different regions. The Iranian Haleem is made differently than Pakistani or Bangladeshi or Indian versions, and typically contains sugar, cinnamon, and turkey meat.
