Short description- in case u r in a hurry
I had the privilege of eating both the offerings of Laal Haleem House at my best friend’s home. She came to know about Laal haleem from a post in Gourmet planet.
Booking process – whatsapp / message on Instagram page. Someone responded & asked to make payment. After payment the order was confirmed.
Delivery experience – the delivery happened through a new delivery app Gubbins. The people who came both times were very professional & handled the package well.
Packaging – the food arrived in a neat corrugated sheet box. It was just locked without any plastic / tape / band/ thread etc. inside the box, the main dish & the condiments were neatly arranged in round paper containers.
Saw some lovely Social media posts by them. See the screenshots below.
Food was outstanding
Detailed description – in case u hv the time to njoy reading:
The haleem is not too smooth, not too रेशेदार। it has robust flavours of mutton & the flavours of spices also make their presence felt very well. Zero floating oil/ghee/any form of fat, on top of the haleem. Spices slow cooked & blended well with the haleem. Scoville factor was not much. There were thinly sliced green chilies for those who like their food to be hot in taste 👅. Wow. That was one of the finest haleems in my active memory. Rate it 4.75/5
The haleem came with condiments that were very smartly packed.
Juliennes of ginger, thinly sliced green chillies, wedge of lemon & a portion of बिरिस्ता (crisp deep fried thin slices of onion).
The icing on the cake was thin fried extreme crisp okra (भिंडी)। they were a tad over salted when had just as it is, but tasted very well with something. Phenomenally crisp, to a perfection.
The chicken qorma gravy was such a rockstar that the chicken pierces appeared to be ‘beside the point’.
Once again, flavours of spices expressed themselves very well – the subtle yet firm flavours. There was not a single drop of excess floating oil/ ghee / any other form of fat. The balance of taste was perfect. The texture was fabulous – smooth & intense. Rate the gravy 4.95/5
The chicken pieces were interesting – 2 leg pieces with bone & many boneless bite size pieces. Lack of enough bone probably led to flavours of chicken being completely over powered by those of the spices. The chicken texture was perfect.
The taste of chicken was like how broiler chicken tastes. For a speciality institution like this, I am wondering if desi chicken is a doable option. Of course the price will be more (input cost as well as customer price) but I believe that meat will do justice to the magic of this gravy.
Rate the chicken pieces 4/5.
Rating of qorma averages out to 4.5/5
Overall rating of food at Laal haleem averages out to 4.65/5
Wow
