Homemade Chicken Haleem Recipe is made with our own choices so it is loaded with protein and nutrients as it’s made with wheat, pulses, chicken and a blend of spices. Based on our interest we can even add rice to it.

Usually, in almost all restaurants we find this recipe prepared for 10-12 hours. First, the chef cooks whole wheat and beats it with a large masher and then adds pulses and meat.

Most of the time chef mashes all ingredients manually so that even bones get cooked. At the end of the day, meat pieces are mashed in such a way that one can only get fiber of it. 

Tips to make perfect Hyderabadi Chicken Haleem Recipe:

  • Marinating chicken with spices will help in absorbing spices and give flavor to it.
  • Usually wheat takes time to cook so instead of adding whole grains it’s a good idea to use crushed grains.
  • The marinating chicken will help in cooking fast. Also, it makes meat soft.
  • While cooking dal, we can soak them and pressure cook them or else roast them and cook them without a lid.
  • Usually, avoiding pressure cooking will enhance the flavor of the dal.
  • If you have a dal masher we can make use of it or else we can use a hand blender for both chicken and dal.
