As Ramadan is ending, I have saved this showstopper until now to make her appearance. Haleem is a slow cooked thick dish made up of meat or chicken, barely, wheat, pulses and eaten during the fasting month as it is highly nutritious and filling. This version is my favorite as I love anything with cumin.
Recipe:
1/4 kilo shoulder of lamb (boneless)
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
3 tablespoons whole cumin
Salt to taste
6 cups of water
Black pepper to taste
1 big onion (whole)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
Method:
Cook the lamb in water with the onion for four hours on very low heat. Add the rice and cook for a further one and half hours. Add the cumin, salt, pepper and mash with a masher for 15-20 minutes until it forms thick even consistency. When serving garnish with cinnamon and melted butter.

I think I had this once, but it was a pretty bad experience. I was actually tricked into thinking that it was porridge and I added extra sugar and cinnamon. All was well until I got to the pieces of meat below... my taste buds weren't ready for that.

Sorry for your bad experience. This dish has a porridge consistency and the meat is already mashed with the rice so there is no meat at the bottom. Hope you try it soon!
