Kids Recipe - Episode 2 -Halim


Halim is another Muslim's dish whichi learned through my friends Aliya & Maria. This dish is very nuitritious since it has many saoked whole grains and meat in it. I have slightly customised this recipe for kids. But generally this dish consumes a lot of cooking time if it has to be done authentically.


Ingredients :


Black gram/Urad Dal - 5 Tbsp

Bengal Gram/Channa Dal - 5 Tbsp

Split red gram/Toor Dal - 5 Tbsp

Split green gram/Moong Dal - 5 Tbsp


Meat or chicken - 1/2 Cup


Prep:


1. Soak all the grains/dal in seperately for about 3 hours. And pressure cook until extremely cooked say for about 10 to 12 whistles.

2.Now pressure cook the meat/chicken seperately until extremely cooked say for about 10 to 12 whistles.

3. Mash them both together to form a thick paste. And add salt and turmeric and let it cook for another 5 mins.

4. Saute the mixture with some splittered Lavan/Patta/2 Cardomom.


This dish is very nutritious so kids can only eat half or 3/4 of their usual quantity of this food.
