Ingredients

3 pounds thinly sliced beef
4 cups water
1 pound cracked wheat
2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt
1 cup cooked rice
½ cup yellow lentils
1/2 cup white lentils
4 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
2 (1.76 oz) package garam masala
1 cup water, or more as needed
salt to taste

Steps:

Combine beef, water, cracked wheat, yogurt, cooked rice, yellow lentils, white lentils, ginger-garlic paste, and haleem masala in a pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, while stirring often.
Reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 12 hours. After 4 to 6 hours of cook time, check water level and add 1 to 2 cups of water as needed so haleem does not get too thick. Taste and season with salt to taste. The haleem should have porridge consistency.
