Cooking:

Let’s start to make thick and delicious chicken Haleem. Mix the pulses, rice, and wheat. Firstly wash the pulses and soak them overnight. The second step is to boil chicken for Haleem. Take 2 liters of stock water, 1 teaspoon oil, and chicken in the pressure cooker and cook on low flame for 18 to 20 minutes. Now place the mixed lentils on the low flame. Keep removing the foam that forms on the top of the lentils when they are on the flame. Keep removing until the foam ends. Cook pulses until they are tender. Do not leave any foam on the pulses if you want to make Haleem flavorful. Now take out the boiled chicken and shred it with hand into small pieces.

Add pulses to the boiled chicken water and other ingredients like ginger paste, garlic paste, red chili powder, salt, turmeric, dry coriander, cumin seed powder, black pepper powder, and hot masala powder. On low flame cook Haleem for 10 to 15 minutes. Take 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil and roast the chicken to get the flavor and shine. Blend the boiled pulses in a blender when they are cool. After blending, place the pulses on the high flame check, adjust the spices, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Now add shredded chicken to the pulses and cook until it becomes thick. When Haleem is thick it's ready to serve.
