Haleem is basically spicy lentil soup. I found that soup mix is a handy thing to make it. Though I mix moog dal with soup mix in this recipe. Soup mix actually mix of wheat, red lentil, split peas mixture . If you want to make by yourself , just use equal amount of wheat red lentil, split peas, moong dal and green moong(mashkolai / urad dal). I skipped green moong (mashkolai dal in this recipe) and added moong dal with soup mix here . Hope you will like home made the flavour of haleem.

Ingredients:

• 1 and ½ cup soup mix

• ½ cup moong dal

• 2 tablespoon kali jeera rice ( enhance flavour a lot)

Ingredients:

1. Soak the soup mix, kali jeera rice and moong dal together at least 1 hour.
