Hyderabadi Haleem

A slow-cooked porridge of cracked wheat, lentils, and shredded mutton pounded together over 8–12 hours until the wheat and meat merge into a single thick, unctuous mass — Hyderabad's most iconic Ramadan preparation and a GI-tagged dish. Garnished tableside with fried onion, fresh lime, ginger julienne, and coriander, it is Hyderabad's greatest culinary export.
