Much more delicious than it sounds, it’s creamy and luscious and super comforting. Also spelled Halim.
Don’t have time to boil, strain, simmer, and mash? Not to worry, Beata has a quick and easy solution using oats and store-bought chicken. Bita joon shares tips for using Thanksgiving turkey leftovers to keep the savory flavors going. Both the Beats share tips and tricks including substitutions for hard to find ingredients. Dig in!
