Haleem is a soup-like Indian and Pakistani dish, brought to India from Persia. In Anatolia, Iran, the Caucasus region and northern Iraq, it is known by the names Keshkek or Harisa. Although the dish varies in other regions, it always includes wheat and meat.

It is a tasty soup that is made from wheat ,barley and oats. Meat or Chicken can be added for different variations. It is generally made in Ramadan and in cold weather and can be eaten with naan(indian bread) and a dash of lemon juice.

And it does not have religious significance.

As for the recipe , see below.

People in different countries make it differently.

Hi, I have lived in Hyderabad for about 8 years and I used to look forward for Ramzan season just to have Haleem every day. After coming back to Bangalore, I missed Haleem a lot. Thanks for the recipe. What is the difference between Haleem and Harees.
