Hyderabadi Atta Ka Hareera (Harira) Recipe

Prepare Dry Fruits: Begin by soaking the mixed dry fruits into small bowl. Set them aside for overnight and later use.

Roast Whole Wheat Flour: Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai over medium heat. Add the ghee to the pan and let it melt.

Once the ghee is hot, add the whole wheat flour (atta) to the pan.

Stir continuously and roast the flour until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This process may take around 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to burn the flour. Once roasted, remove the pan from heat and set it aside.

Prepare Dry fruits Mixture: In a mixer grinder, add the soaked mixed fruits and grind it into a thick paste consistency.

In a separate Kadhai, heat the dry fruits paste in some desi ghee over medium heat until it leaves ghee from their surroundings.

Reduce the heat to low and let the paste thicken, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. This may take about 10-15 minutes.

Combine Flour and dry fruits mixture: Once the dry fruit paste has thickened slightly, gradually add the roasted whole wheat flour (atta) to the pot while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.

Cooking Hareera: Keep stirring the mixture continuously to ensure that the flour is well incorporated into the paste. Add the sugar and water to the pot and stir until it dissolves completely.

Continue to cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens further and reaches a porridge-like consistency. This may take another 15-20 minutes.

Serve: Once the Hyderabadi Atta Ka Hareera (Harira) is ready, remove the pot from heat. Transfer the sweet dish to serving bowls or plates. Serve warm or chilled, as per your preference.
