Special Chicken Haleem

Haleem is a stew composed of meat, lentils and pounded wheat made into a thick paste. It is originally an Arabic dish and was introduced to the Hyderabad State by the Chaush people during the rule of the Nizams. Local traditional spices helped a unique Hyderabadi Haleem evolve, which became popular among the native Hyderabadis by the 19th century.
