Broken wheat, lentils, meat, and large amounts of ghee are typically used to make traditional haleem, particularly the well-known Hyderabadi haleem.

Even while it tastes good, it can be:

  • High in calories
  • Rich in fat
  • challenging to digest when fasting

Using oats instead of wheat makes it:

  • Simpler to process
