My Chicken Haleem Recipe, is a time saving recipe which can be prepared and served with in one and a half hour. Usually Haleem is slowly cooked for six to seven hours which results in a paste like consistency with the taste of spices and meat blending with wheat but my Chicken Haleem recipe is very easy to make and prepare. It has a great taste which is quite similar to the Beef Haleem flavor.
