Everyone is hungry.
This Chicken Haleem. The last. - This the Chicken Haleem? Ah, okay.
So, it's made from dal, lentils?
Made from chicken and what, dal?
Dal, lentils.
Together.
There, no. This is Chicken Haleem.
Chicken Haleem. Ah, okay, okay.
I think it's...
The man did say it's made from lentils, right?
Haleem is mix of different lentils and meat.
It looks like a lentil soup with
shreds of chicken mixed in.
And where's the beef, the beef?
Beef here. - Oh, this is the beef one. This is the one I'm gonna get.
This is beef. - This the Beef Haleem? Ah, okay, good.

Okay, I want to taste.
It's smells good. Smells good.
It's smells like a meaty, a meaty lentil soup.
Oh, they weigh it.
Dunno if that's my one or his.
This my one?
What? - You weigh it on this, right?
Weight is 30 grams. - So it gets weight.
The weight is 530. Okay.
Ah, so you weigh with the plate? Ah, I get it.
I was wondering, I ordered like 250 grams,
but they take into consideration the plate as well.
Okay. Eat with hands or you have spoon? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll get.
Okay. Looks a wee but messy to be eaten with hands.
I don't know if they do eat it with the hands.
It looks like a kind of soup, so
you would think this is with a spoon.
Smells nice.
Okay, great.
Oh, it comes with this.
What do I do with this? I don't know.
He's given me all this. I don't know what to do with it.
This get's squeezed on? - Yeah.

Tiny little lemons. Okay.

Okay. It looks like in the middle for like discarding.
Okay. Learning the system, learning the system.
Onion, fried onion. - What is it?
Oh, this the crispy onion? - Yeah.
Okay. Some crispy onion as well.
Okay...
There's some chilies there as well.
We'll see if it needs the chilies.
Let's mixed it in.
So, I can see in there. It's definitely the consistency of soup
but I can see in there just the little shreds.
The little shreds of the meat.
Okay.
Sticky, gooey.
Oh, wow!
Brother it's amazing! - Yeah.
Oh, wow!
The flavour is intense.
It's like a really, really strong intense flavour.
It is spicy. I don't think I need these chilies. It's already spicy.
And yeah. the chunks of beef are bigger than I thought.
They're kinda hidden. Kinda hidden by this lentil broth.
But, oh, lovely.
These crispy onions... Oh, you can see I'm gonna make a mess, right?
He didn't give it to them. He didn't give it to the other guys.
He only gives it to the messy Scotsman.
Oh but it's really nice with these, these crispy little onions, as well.
I'm having a second portion of them.
It's nice with the onions, yeah. - Yes. It's very good.
It's like giving a little bit of crispiness as well.
Ohh...
It's lovely.
It's like if you've ever eaten dal
with Pakistani or Indian food. It's like a very very,
very very thick dal,
with the chunks of really tender beef as well.
And just a lot of good spice in there as well.
What are the spices you put in? Pepper?
And, what?
This is the spicy. - This is the spicy?
This make it more spicy?
Yeah. - Okay. It's already spicy. He's adding more spice.
This is what type of masala? - Yeah, masala, chaat masala.
This is chaat masala, this is green masala.
Ah, okay.
So this chaat masala, you said? Okay. - Chaat masala.
Okay, it's already spicy. He's added a ton more.
I'm gonna mixed this in.
The smell, the smell alone.
I knew it was good.
I knew it was gonna taste good when I smelled it,
when they opened that pot.
Oh...
Ohh...
So Dale, did you liked it? - Oh, it's so good.
This is the man who recommended it to me.
He said I had to try the Haleem.
And I love it. It's so good.
Thank you brother!
Did you put the lemon? - Yeah, I put one lemon
and we've added some of this and also the crispy...
I'm not gonna add these, I think it's spicy enough.
But it's so good.
The flavour is intense. It's like a strong strong flavour, right? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you have anything similar in Scotland?
To this? Yeah, we would like have a vegetable soup or something.
But, that's the only thing I can like...
Nothing with... Yeah, we have like a vegetable soup.
We'd add some ham or something like that, some meat.
But nah, this is something totally different.
You have to like,
mix it for a long time. Many hours. - Ah, okay.
So that's why they don't make here? They make it in, like, a factory somewhere, right?
They have a main branch in Korangi.
Ah, so this is only one of many branches?
This is one of the many branches. - Ah, okay. How many do they have?
How many shops you have?
Five. - Five shops? Ah, okay.
And there's a main place where it's all made?
A kitchen, one big kitchen?
What?
They make it in Korangi and then they bring it here every day.
Ah, okay. How long does it take to make one pot?
They start making it at night and then they finish by the morning.
Oh, wow. So, the chef's are working overnight to prepare it for the next day?
Ahh... - They have to mix it like this, with the long stick.
Ah and they can't stop? They're just constantly mixing, mixing?
They're constantly mixing the lentils and the meat.
Ahh, okay.
Is it the beef you're tried? - Yeah, I'm trying the beef one, yeah.
I ask him which one is the best, the chicken or beef. He said the beef one.
Yeah, it's good. The meat is tender.
It's high quality meat, right? It's nice and tender.
Yeah, it's so good.
Yum, yum.
Brother, I want to try the chicken one now. - Yeah.
I was just gonna have a wee snack and go to other places
and try other food but I want to compare the beef and the chicken.
Mmm. It's lovely.
Absolutely tanned it. Absolutely tanned that plate.
Here's the chicken one. Can I have another spoon, brother? - Yeah.
Okay, thank you brother. Let's try the chicken one.
Mmm. It's nice.
It's just basically the same except the meat's different.
Beef one is better though. The beef one is better.
Little shreds of chicken.
Like a chicken lentil soup.
A spicy one.
Mmm...
Love these onions. These crispy fried onions.
And the lemon.
Ohh. Don't need anymore of the spice.
It is already very spicy.
Look at that.
The texture, the crispy texture, just adds something,
it really adds something special to it.
Mmm...
When you bite in to those pieces of onions as well,
just an extra kick of flavour as well.
So nice.
Ahh. Yum, yum.
Ohh. You're correct, the beef one is the best one. - Yeah.
The chicken one is good but the beef one is more good.
Something special. - Beef, we are famous for that.
The famous one, huh? Okay.
