Editor’s Rating

Haleem has been around for centuries and is still one of the most popular dishes in the world. It’s filling and it’s aromatic. This amazing dish is made with wheat, barley, lentils, and meat (usually beef or mutton), which are slow-cooked until they marry each other. Regional variations include the addition of spices, such as cumin, coriander, ginger, and green chilies.

A bowl of Haleem is packed with healthy nutrients. It is a great source of protein and fiber, making it a healthy option for those looking for an alternative to traditional meat-based dishes. It is packed with lots of healthy ingredients and can be enjoyed as a main meal or as a side dish at any get-together, or parties. Eat it as it is or with naan and rice, the choice is all yours.

Making Haleem at home can be excruciating, it is a long, multi-step, tedious process. However, with various easy-to-cook haleem mixes, making haleem at home is easy peasy now. If you are wondering whether they are any good or not, just go through our review.

I had the very same thoughts when I decided I wanted to serve Haleem at my dawat this year. After searching aisle to aisle these were the best mix and blend of Haleem I found.

Mild flavoring

National quick cook Haleem costs about the same as Shan and serves about 6 servings per packet. I tried this quick-cooked Haleem mixed blend at my last dinner party. It is moderately spiced and is not pre-ground so can be blended as per preferences which I liked about this spice blend. The amount of cooking time it takes is hardly an hour or so. I get mine from Savyour to get cashback.

DISLIKE

Shorter shelf life

Mehran haleem mix is an easy dish, serving 6 people. I tried this blend to distinguish the difference and found that it is not pre-grinded, yet easy to cook. It has a strong essence flavoring, but the only complaint I have is that it has a comparatively shorter shelf life.

Pre-grinded mix

Haleem is one of my favorite dishes but making Haleem meant gathering multiple spices and grains from all different cabinets. Thanks to Shan, making Haleem is effortless for me now. Shan’s easy-cook haleem mix comes with pre-grinded grains and a blend of spices. It is made with only the finest ingredients. With 5 servings per packet, it has clear instructions written and can be cooked without gathering a million other spices or grains.

Haleem Recipe Mixes

Besides, easy cook or quick cook mixes, there are Haleem recipe mixes available in the market. These contain spice blends and do not come with wheat and lentil packet mixtures.

I find quick-cook blends easier to cook since it saves me the hassle of gathering and measuring multiple grains. However, some people prefer cooking their haleem in a certain way or with certain grains such as oats, for them, these blends are a considerable option.
