Haleem, a stew like wholesome and hearty meal made with wheat, pulses and meat. A Ramadan staple that makes a healthy dinner during other times of the year too.
Soak wheat and all the pulses in water for 5-6 hours or over night.
In a heavy-bottomed pan add ingredients to cook meat. Cover the pan and cook in medium heat till the water from the beef almost dries up, stirring occasionally. Set aside once the beef is cooked.
Drain water from the wheat and lentil mix. Add 6 cups of water, the chopped ginger, and the red chillies to the mix.
Cook the wheat and lentil mix for 2-3 hours in medium heat stirring time to time. Add more water if needed.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until wheat is tender and the mix is sticky and blended.
