Easy Mutton Haleem Preparation at Home | Homemade Mutton Haleem Recipe in Telugu | Ramzan Special Haleem

Firstly, we'll be cooking mutton, then we'll cook lentils
Here I used 1/2 kg mutton. We will also need brown onions
Brown onions are 3 deep fried chopped onions
This mutton can be directly cooked, but here I'm marinating it a little bit
Since, usually, this mutton is cooked for 2-3 hours outside and here we'll be cooking it a bit quicker.
To 1/2 kg mutton, add 100 grams curd, 2 teaspoons chilli powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder, 1/4 cup mint leaves, 1/4 cup coriander leaves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons ginger garlic paste, 2 green chillies and mix
Now add 1/4 brown onions and mix

Let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour

To a pressure cooker, add 2 tablespoon clarified butter (ghee) and heat it
Add 5 cardamom, 2 star anise, 5 cloves, 2 cinnamon stick pieces, 1 teaspoon shahjeera, 1/2 teaspoon tail pepper and fry for a minute
Now add the marinated mutton
If you're not marinating the mutton, then add mutton directly along with the masala we added during marination
Stir and cook the mutton
Add 2 glasses of water and close lid
Cook on high flame for 1 whistle and then cook on low flame for 30 minutes. This will be upto 10 whistles
Mutton needs to be cooked so much that the meat starts separating from the bone

Lets start the second part of the recipe now
Here we will need 100 grams broken wheat
Some people also use soaked wheat here.
To a bowl, add 1 tablespoon red gram, 1 tablespoon bengal gram, 1 tablespoon black gram, 1 tablespoon green gram, 1 tablespoon barley seeds, 1 tablespoon basmathi rice, 5 cashew nuts and 5 almonds
Try to add all the lentils, if one of them isn't available, then you can skip it
Now, coarsely grind these lentils
Heat 1 tablespoon clarified butter (ghee), 100 grams broken wheat, prepared lentils mixture and cook on medium flame for 3-4 minutes
Add 1 litre water and boil on high flame
As the water gets to boiling, cook on medium flame
Stir and cook so that the base doesn't burn
Add some more water if necessary
Cook till the lentils become soft and cut off the stove

We can see that the mutton has cooked now
If the mutton is still uncooked for you, cook for some more time till the mutton becomes completely soft
There's oil-water mixture floating on the mutton. Put about 1/4 cup of it aside
Then, cook till the water boils away
Let the mutton cool down

Shift the cooked mutton into a wide pan
Remove the bones from the mutton
Mash the meat till it becomes completely soft
Now, mash the cooked lentils till it becomes a soft paste and then add this to the mashed meat
Mash them again till they mix and become completely soft
If the mixture seems too thick, add some water we put aside earlier and mash it
Then add 1/4 cup mint leaves, 1/4 cup coriander leaves and mix
Add 1 teaspoon coriander seeds powder, a little salt, 2 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee) and mix
Now add 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder and place the pan on stove
Cook for 5-10 minutes on high flame
Add the brown onions and mix
Cook and mash the mixture till the required consistency is obtained
Its time to serve the Haleem now
Garnish the haleem with brown onions, coriander leaves, mint leaves, clarified butter (ghee), fried cashewnuts and serve hot!
