Rinse the wheat thoroughly and soak it overnight in water. This helps soften the grains and shortens the cooking time.
Step 2: Cook the Meat and Wheat
In a large pot, add the soaked wheat, meat, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove any foam that forms on the surface.
Once the meat is fully cooked, remove it from the pot, shred it, and return it to the mixture.
Step 3: Blend to Perfection
Use a wooden spoon or hand blender to mash the wheat and meat together until you achieve a smooth, thick consistency.
Season with salt and let it simmer for another 30 minutes.
Step 4: Serve with Ghee
Drizzle ghee over the harees for an authentic touch.
Garnish with cinnamon or cardamom for extra flavor.
Notes
While active cooking takes about 2-3 hours, soaking the wheat overnight (8 hours) is key to softening the grains for a creamy texture. Plan for best results!
