Haleem is a rich lentil-based stew that has shredded meat and tastes unique. It is popular in parts of India, other Southeast Asian countries, and the Middle east.

This time I had to think of something that he usually ignores but would happily drink with a chunk of ice and a fancy straw.
Sweet potato falafels
