How to Use

Use alongside soaked broken wheat, assorted lentils, and slow-cooked mutton or chicken for a traditional haleem.

Mash and stir the mixture vigorously to achieve haleem’s characteristic thick, porridge-like consistency. Garnish with fried onions, lemon, green chilies, and ginger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Shan Haleem Masala 50g and Shan Shahi Haleem Mix 300g? The Shahi Haleem Mix 300g is a complete package that includes grains, lentils, and spices while the Haleem Masala 50g is spices only — for those who prefer to source and prepare their own grain blend.

How long does it take to cook haleem with this masala? Traditional haleem takes 3-6 hours of slow cooking on the stovetop. A pressure cooker reduces this to about 60-90 minutes while still achieving the characteristic smooth, thick texture.

Can I make haleem without meat? Yes — a vegetarian haleem using only lentils and wheat is possible and still flavorful with Shan Haleem Masala. Increase the lentil-to-wheat ratio and adjust the cooking time as needed for a vegetarian version.
