Haleem is a traditional food of the Muslim culture in India and is typically consumed during Ramadan, as it is a highly nutritious and filling dish that can provide energy for the whole day. It is a stew-like dish made of wheat, mutton, and spices, which is cooked for several hours until it becomes a thick porridge-like consistency. It is then garnished with chopped coriander leaves, sliced ginger, lemon juice, and ghee to enhance its taste and flavor.

Instructions

1.	Boil wheat in a pot of water along with salt until it gets cooked and becomes tender.
2.	In a separate pot, boil water and add mutton to cook.
3.	When mutton is cooked, separate the soup from the meat and keep it aside.
4.	In a pan, melt butter and add cinnamon and sugar.
5.	Add the cooked meat and stir for a while before adding the cooked wheat and soup.
6.	Mix everything well and let it cook on low heat for about 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally until it gets thick.
7.	Serve hot with chopped coriander leaves, sliced ginger, lemon juice, and ghee.
