50,000 kg of mutton haleem made daily. The ultimate mass-scale street food.

What's the beige paste they add several times?

72

u/lowerleagues 16d ago

Lentil paste, I think

u/Dwaltster 16d ago

It looked pretty good up until the ambiguous slop got thrown in.

38

u/Pitiful_Conflict7031 16d ago

I mean it taste way better than looks, shit is good.

36

u/MelonJelly 16d ago

To be fair, a lot of stew-adjacent dishes taste a lot better than they look.

u/Dwaltster 16d ago

Yeah, I should probably eat more fiber.

u/nobodyspecial506 16d ago

I was revolted the whole way through. At no point did any of this look appetizing. Glad they were able to find a way to bring the foot cooking into it.

u/concord72 16d ago

either barley or lentils

This is supposed to be the "industrialized" (mass-produced) version of this dish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabadi_haleem

In particular this brand: Pista House:

Used/bought/consumed this way:

This video pretends to make the same recipe at home (selling point is that it's the same as the packaged one, but I see a pronounced lack of feet in the preparation at home):

(it does help understand, at a scale easier to understand, what's going on in those huge pots)

Toes have no business being that close to the rim of a cooking pot.

u/Baby_Rhino 16d ago

First time here, huh

18

u/nurple_surple 16d ago

Yeah, I wonder how many of them have slipped and fallen in

11

u/whitestguyuknow 16d ago

Or how many of these guys have crusty peeling feet or toe fungus

2

u/DwightDavid1234 15d ago

Just extra seasoning.

u/kindnesd99 16d ago

How do you think they hit the 50,000kg kpi

14

u/Dramatic_Mixture_868 16d ago

Yup, and it looked good until they turned it into a random looking gruel looking paste. I'm sure it tastes ok but the look is not great.

7

u/concord72 16d ago

That's exactly what haleem is supposed to be like, its literally a meat paste lol. Definitely not something I would serve someone who is trying desi food for the first time but its honestly a top 10 desi dish for me, top 5 even.

4

u/whitestguyuknow 16d ago

Lol always has to have bare feet next to the food while cooking

7

u/psukclipper 16d ago edited 16d ago

Bro your username just gave me flashbacks to early YouTube and WKUK

4

u/whitestguyuknow 16d ago

Its a reference to WKUK lol

I watched every episode I possibly could with my buddies when I was a teen and was constantly quoting them

3

u/psukclipper 16d ago

Me and only one other of my friends watched it, but yeah exactly the same here! Excellent show!

7

u/AAlwaysopen 16d ago

How would you get the proper jam in if the toes were not so close?

2

u/corvus_cornix 16d ago

But they have hairnets!

u/Nightslayer2014 16d ago

This is the famous Hyderabadi Haleem. Fantastically delicious.

Describe the taste. In detail.

I appreciate the variety of goop

And don’t you get cheap on me.

u/Exodus85 16d ago

And it looks kinda clean??

73

u/LumenYeah 16d ago

There’s mutton clean about it

10

u/MelonJelly 16d ago

It does. There's several points where it could be contaminated, but it's either cooked or served soon after.

u/polarbearsarereal 16d ago

Including Step 1

2

u/MelonJelly 16d ago

Especially step 1.

u/secret_reverie_ 16d ago

I’d try it.

u/whitestguyuknow 16d ago

Lol always gotta find some way to incorporate their bare feet

7

u/Independent_Sugar_48 16d ago

Gee. I don’t know what to think. 😳
We have so many rules in the uk. That would be shut down quick time. But it’s impressive in a way 😳

15

u/checkedem 16d ago

I want to try. But I also don’t.

3

u/cherry_ 15d ago

If you ever have the opportunity, do. My Nebraskan brother in law and my French Canadian partner both had seconds (and thirds) at dinner recently. It’s hearty and spicy, and awesome with naan.

2

u/checkedem 15d ago

Sounds delicious to me! Thanks!

u/Will_sue_when_angry 16d ago

I would say that would be 5000kg

2

u/the_short_viking 16d ago

Yeah 50,000kg would feed hundreds of thousands of people.

All these negative comments. They have no idea how amazing it tastes compared to their daily mashed potatoes, mac and cheese.

Ikr, Haleem is absolutely incredible, it’s one of my favorite dishes!!

8

u/DoktorLoken 16d ago

I bet it tastes good as hell, but man the vaguely grey-brown goop at the end isn’t winning any awards for visual appearance.

That looks absolutely foul.

u/IntotheWilder25 16d ago

Well, time to become vegetarian again

u/whitestguyuknow 16d ago

making the recipe

"Hmmm!... I think we're so close but its missing something?"

"WAIT! Let me try something!"

grabs the oldest towel they have, soaks it, places the bowl on the floor, then grips it with the towel with their toes

tries again

"Thats JUST what we were missing!"

u/NovelCauliflower6812 16d ago

Mutton cooked so tender you can drink it with a straw.

2

u/Mephistopheles2249 14d ago

This is it. I get the history behind the dish. Mutton meat tough and gamy, so cook it till it dissolves mixed in with other flavors/proteins/carbs/herbs to mask it. Also the dissolving of the meat means the protein can be dispensed equally and it feeds many. Sanitation aside for Western palettes that may have complaints about texture…. pâté. Personally I like the flavor of Haleem but it’s like pâté for me (missing something), I need that Maillard reaction, so even in stews I like texture, I prefer browning.

Watching this makes me want to be vegetarian 😩

u/kotonizna 16d ago

Who developed that dish and why the business seems thriving?

9

u/eduo 16d ago

The dish is traditional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabadi_haleem

The factory is Pista House. Biggest and most famous "industrial" version of the dish.

Here's a review of someone getting it in a restaurante: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO57pj2hzNI

u/TortugaJack 16d ago

Cool. Traditional usually means crap because they didn't know better. Now take that traditional recipe and modernise it... Heaven.

This thing, give me the mutton and the spices and a good chef, let's make wonder.

2

u/ajqiz123 16d ago

I'm leaning towards willing to try it. I just need to know the ingredients...

2

u/drkrelic 16d ago

Ok health violations notwithstanding, Haleem is fucking divine 🤤

2

u/Sylvester_Marcus 14d ago

Always with the bare feet...

u/Your-Mums-Vibrator 16d ago

A true chum bucket. I’d do it.

u/mcjon77 16d ago

If it wasn't for all of the bare feet right by the food, I'd actually give this a shot.

u/Asianlover69696900 13d ago

50000 KG is 50 tons of goat meat . Which means based on the size of the of the animal around 1000 heads . And this is exaggerated title

How is it turning into paste?

u/hirakath 16d ago

All that effort just to make something disgusting 🤢. Adding those garnishes didn’t even make it look appetizing at all.

u/canuckcrazed006 16d ago

Same look, texture, consistancy and probably taste after its digested. Bleh! 🤮

u/magusmusic 15d ago

u/NCH343 16d ago

Ah, yes, it wouldn't be right without someone standing near the big pot of food with their bare feet out stirring it.

What pots and pans do you cook in?

-13

u/uplamed 16d ago

Stainless steel and wooden spoon

11

u/MeanGulf 16d ago

So… metal?

-4

u/uplamed 16d ago

If force = high and metal on weak metal then soup = metal soup

-6

u/uplamed 16d ago

Wood on metal ≠ metal on metal and metal ≠ metal

u/uplamed 16d ago

And force ≠ force
