No carnivore can resist a Haleem anytime and more so during Ramzan. Made of wheat, barley, meat, lentils and spices, this dish is laborious to prepare as it is slow-cooked for hours. The paste-like consistency, blending the flavours of spices, meat, barley and wheat, is then a treat to relish. Come Ramadan and all gourmets yearn to devour a bowl of Haleem. Apart from Mohammad Ali Road, one can now do so, at some of the Mumbai restaurants too, as chefs serve this dish as part of their Iftar promotions. So, head to any of these places and savour a comforting bowl of Haleem. My top 5 picks are here.
