Street food Haleem — the authentic version

The best Haleem I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The warming and hearty intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. Kashmiri chilli was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

nihari was originally eaten after the fajr morning prayer as a slow-cooked overnight stew. The a Lahore dhaba setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. chai was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
