Harees (Al Harees)

[brhoomalawadi]

Titli you must try it instead of butter a mix of cinnamon and powder sugar and sprinkle as much you like trust me it's much more better that way ;)

[TitliNihaan]

@brhoomalawadi I'm smiling. If I had done this recipe with cinnamon and sugar I would have had comments that say "you must try it with butter" :-)

[maxmooo]

Oh...you are so cute....love the way u show the recipe....i will surely make it...

[shamsyshams]

Assalaam 3alaikum Titli,

I love Harees... I ate it when I was living in Qatar. How did you learn to make it? are you from Birmingham? (I'm from Birmingham)

[TitliNihaan]

@shamsyshams Yes, I'm a Brummie :-)

[lemoned17]

Hello TitliNihaan, Is it possible to make these recipe with another cereal? like barley or millet? (i make an ayurvedic diet)

[TitliNihaan]

@lemoned17 Barley might work, yes.

[SexyFish87]

al harees is saudi dish titly and its eating all year around not just ramadan =D

[ajalahma]

Hi in Bahrain we do the same but we add the solt just before beating the mix . That will .ensure the meat is well softened

[anuarag67]

Thanks for sharing.....I am gonna try it. I am living in the Qatar, eating harees regularly but dont know how to make it.

[Thebeautyofsoul]

hi dear

thank you

[gardini100]

interesting recipe ...it just have to taste great ....is it served the same way as hummus as a dip to nan bread and veggies ?

[TitliNihaan]

@gardini100 You can, but mostly you just use a spoon :-)

[92LuHate]

oh wow! i never posted comments on your videos but this one i have to.. THANK YOU for introducing this dish to the world.. it is a dish that is well known between Gulf countries the most =D

im not sure about the date and the butter mix, but here in Kuwait, we serve it with sugar powder and cinnamon =)

love your videos by the way <3

[katarboy]

wooow that was amazing, you really explained the very easy

I thank you very much

[StellaElectra]

i think that we fail to remember that some foods were once eaten because there wasn't anything else to eat. it was about survival as opposed to titillating the taste buds. fortunateness for me! i never had to worry about that in my life time.

[TitliNihaan]

@StellaElectra Nice comment.

[sesamealamry]

what is your ethnicity titli?? you are amazing.I love you so much.

[TitliNihaan]

@sesamealamry I'm British :-)

[fa6am6amo6a]

yaaaaaaaaay ,, harees is first made by kuwaitis by the waaay .. =D

my grandmothers is amazing .. oh yeah we serve it with poder suger mixed with cinamon ;p

[JaninaM]

When I lived and worked in the Emirates in the 80s we used to eat this made with chicken or goat and it was delicious!

[TitliNihaan]

@JaninaM I find it quite addictive. Sort-of comfort food...

[shopaholic1]

We also make this in Lebanon! My grandmother makes it the best, it's not so different from your recipe. Titli you're soo sweet with so much humor. Keep up your good work. Love your videos.

[tileb]

Sure, not the most appealing dish you've ever cooked!! By the way 500 gr of butter that much?

[TitliNihaan]

@tileb No, only 50 g ! (about 3 tbsp)

[aaroxme]

yummm! it looks like hummus!

[Amarain]

Lol great video!great recipe...thanks to you I'll cook up a nice surprise for the hubby........

[p111nad]

Every time I see your face titli my stomach starts to rumble.

[agnesdeque]

Incroyable!En regardant l'image fixe de cette recette,je croyais que c'était un dessert.Je n'imaginais pas une seconde que c'était à base de viande!A chaque fois ,j'apprends un truc nouveau.Titli,tu es une belle ambassadrice des cuisines du monde.Bravo et merci

[sugarlemonpie]

I love your dress in this videos! Interesting dish, it looks like meaty oatmeal! I kind of want to try it...

[TitliNihaan]

@Emiratya2008 I've been to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaymah and Sharjah... but I never tried the harees there!

[THERANDOMNESS84]

@TitliNihaan wow the funny thing is i have also been to all those cities but never seen you there :(

I am from Qatar but live in Canada you have to come to either they are both beautiful

[TitliNihaan]

@THERANDOMNESS84 And I've been to Toronto, Mississauga, Vancouver and Edmonton, but I never saw you there either! Never been to Qatar, but will go one day inshAllah.

[THERANDOMNESS84]

@TitliNihaan funny thing is i live in toronto maybe next time you come we can meet up :)

[TitliNihaan]

@THERANDOMNESS84 That would be cool :-)

[Emiratya2008]

@TitliNihaan ^_^ nice to know that you were here , I'm from Al ain , you must attend a local wedding party in UAE or a special occasion or during ramadan so you will be able to try all our tradational food

[musique001]

Titli,

I was wondering when you'll be making Cassoulet Titli style for us? :P

Happy Ramadan to ya!

[EvelynGB]

wheaty, meaty goodness...ahahahah... funny!

I don't know if i could eat this though...hmmmmm.... is it good?

[TitliNihaan]

@EvelynGB Looks like... well, you know.... but tastes really good!

[crp50403]

That looks nastey.

[symna]

Thanks for the recipe but I think Haleem tastes better than Harees ;-)

[ontheskies]

it's like haleem

[TitliNihaan]

@ontheskies Haleem and harees are the same basic dish. When harees was introduced into India they spiced it up a bit. A lot, actually!

[zairt]

that looks yummy .............a bit time consuming but easy...no comparison with haleem(nothing like hyderabadi haleem...a bit of regionalism lol) but def i'm gonna try this for my iftar.

[InsaneBreakdown]

looks yummy and nice dancing

[carolinezcraftz]

My MIL in Lebanon makes this but with chicken in a massive pan and gives it to all the neighbours :)

[estoymuyharta]

I can't believe no one has commented on the funky dance yet! Words can't describe how much I love it. I'm in awe, I've already watched it 5 times. O.O

Non sequitur: I love your dress, Titli!

[Breneric]

Thanks Titli, I love simple dishes!

[naddooya]

wow I'm quite impressed you stumbled upon harees.. one of my favourite dished for Ramadhan. Although our families in the gulf stopped serving it with ghee or butter.. instead we just sprinkle it with cinnamon powder :)... enjoy the rest of ramadhan, and many blessed returns of the month inshallah..

[Unwaar]

could I just use meat tenderizer on the meat beforehand and then cook it and once done add cracked wheat to make life a bit easier? :)

[TitliNihaan]

@Unwaar Yu want the stuff to become like a porridge. If yo really did the biz on the meat at the start it might work. If you use decent quality meat in small pieces it breaks up quite easily though after 2-3 hours cooking.

[JoanJoan1997]

That looks amazing.

[user3640]

How do you eat this? Is it like a dip that you eat with crackers or rather do you just get a spoon and dig right in?

[naddooya]

@user3640 we usually just eat it as is.. just get a spoon and dig in :)

[sahds91]

@user3640 I'd interested to know this too! Maybe it's with naan?

[TitliNihaan]

@sahds91 Just get your spoon out!

[wildcutejulie2]

oh gosh that looks so gross

[marcocallisto]

it's not beautiful to see... but the taste are wonderful!

Titli the best!

[simpfan666]

It sort of looks like a meatie wheatie hummus

[TitliNihaan]

@simpfan666 That's a good analogy!

[cherbear1001]

I'm sorry but that looks like my dog got sick in my plate....

lol 

[TitliNihaan]

@cherbear1001 Poor puppy!

[cherbear1001]

@TitliNihaan I'm sure it tastes delicious! but definitely an accquired sight :P

[Esunshine71]

i make this in a slow cooker. easier and test great. i do add beef,chicken and pork to it.

[GrowingMyBrain]

Hareees???!!

Titili u are the bomb really

gonna make a lot of gulf Arabian ppl pleased :p

my grandma (may Allah bless her soul) used to make the (Dehen) ghee differently ..

mom says tht she used to crush roasted coriander seeds, mix it with little flour then put it into the butter while its melting and let it cook in it and then sieve it ..

[TitliNihaan]

@GrowingMyBrain I've found that there are all sorts of variants on this dish. Some add cumin seeds, some use straight ghee, some sprinkle sugar on the top...

[LovingBundleOfHate]

Inshallah ur Ramadhan is going well!!

[hypnotiqdom]

Not the most eye pleasing dish i've seen you make. How's the flavor Titli?

[TitliNihaan]

@hypnotiqdom I agree. Looks like it was squeezed from a beast, but the taste is amazingly addictive!
