Vegetarian Haleem

I am a big fan of haleem. Usually, it is a stew made up of meat, lentil and broken wheat cooked into a thick paste. Its basically a Hyderabadi dish and is very much famous in Hyderabad(India).

Being a nonvegetarian chicken and mutton haleem are my favourite. This time as I had no chicken/mutton at home and limited ingredients available in kitchen. I decided to give it a twist and made a vegetarian haleem 🙂

The best part is that it will hardly take even 30 minutes of your time. So this can be your next healthy go to recipy.
