This Is A Representative Image

The holy month of Ramadan has finally descended upon us, teaching us to value abstinence from material pleasures. Meanwhile, the streets of Old Delhi and the bylanes of Zakir Nagar and Batla House are all creaking under pressure from the numerous crowd that gathers to celebrate the age-old tradition of breaking fast at dusk, followed by the most scrumptious feast you will lay your eyes or your salivating tongues on!

If you have a Muslim friend or a relative, you would most probably know what haleem is and more probably, may even have sampled it by now! For those still in the dark, haleem is a paste-like creation which is made using meat, wheat and pulses. These three ingredients are beaten together until they form a creamy mixture which is then topped and garnished with fried onions, ginger julienne, cut green chillies and a dash of lemon to prove the fact that it’s one of the best things Indians have ever adopted from the Arabs! 

The Nizams of Hyderabad have been said to be the pioneers of haleem in India, and even today during Ramadan, the city of Hyderabad makes excellent haleem and actually exports it to countries all over the world. So what are you waiting for?! Scroll down to know where to get the best haleem in Delhi!
