My Tip: 

  • Here I am using my leftover oil from beresta(brown onion) making. It gives a very nice aroma to my dish.
  • For this recipe , Please don't take boneless mutton as bone includes a very good flavour into your dish.
  • For this recipe , traditionally kabab chini/Tailed pepper(looks like black pepper with a tail) is used. But its not easily available in all places. So allspice is the perfect substitute of it. Its flavour is quiet similar to kabab chini. But obviously, kabab chini is the first preference if you get.
  • If you want you can add more ghee. For me, It is enough.
  • The texture of haleem should be Smooth & slimy. To make the perfect haleem you need patience and love for cooking.
