How to make it

  1. Soak the grain and lentil mix from the haleem packet overnight.
  2. Brown the meat with ginger-garlic paste and the spice sachet in ghee, cover with water and braise on low heat for about 2 hours until it falls apart.
  3. Cook the soaked mix separately until soft and add it to the meat.
  4. Mash or beat everything vigorously while stirring until it becomes thick and stringy.
  5. Season with garam masala and serve topped with fried onions, ginger strips, mint, green chilli and lime.

Spice mixes come with their own instructions on the packet – the steps above are a rough guide.
