Harees

One of my friend saw my blog the other day and she wanted me to post this recipe of haleem made with chicken. There are many many ways haleem is made and this is how my mom used to make. Long time ago I posted this recipe on Sify and I made quite a lot of online friends from many different countries. So I am happy to post this recipe on my own blog

And I will post the picture soon

Take the red grams and lentils and boil them with a little turmeric for about 20 minutes or till you get 4 whistles (no salt should be added else the lentils will not get boiled) and set aside
In a cooker take the oil and fry the onions till sauted and then add the slit chillies. Add 2 cloves and 6-8 black pepper seeds.After a minute add the ginger garlic paste and fry till brown. Now add the marinated chicken and the wheat and add water and the mint leaves and boil till the chicken gets totally disintegrated or for 4 whistles. Now add the boiled grams and lentils and add some more water to make a light gravy. Add salt to taste and boil it continuously stirring till you get a thick gravy and the chicken totally separates into fine pieces.
