When you've caught the haleem bug it's hard to get rid of it. In the second part of this haleem trail post, I'd like to talk about the haleem from Hotel Palmshore in Santhome, haleem from Ramadhan Bazaar in Velachery and Haleem sold at the counters of Hotel Khaja in Periamet.
I had bought the Iftaar box from here. They've reduced the rates from rs 300 (last year) to just rs 220 this year but the quantity of some dishes and number of items have been reduced. Anyway, the Iftaar box is still a value for money offer with so many items in it. Will be talking more about it on a separate post.
The Haleem was served in a bigger container now it is just a small one but it was enough to get a proper taste of it.
Was tasty enough lil peppery and more runny. Although it looked lumpy it felt well combined when eating. Mutton content was less though just strands of mutton here n there n mostly lentils.
Ramadhan bazaar is being held in Deli Express Velachery right at the junction after Phoenix mall. This haleem is made by a chef brought in from Hyderabad. The event is organized by Chennai Food Guide and they also have many other delicacies like Hyderabadi biriyani and much more including Kerala delicacies. I tried this haleeem as part of a bigger tasting session at Food consulate a few weeks back.
Taste
Texture was very good and so was the taste. It was spicier haleem different from that of Pista house. Medium amount of mutton was present. Goes very well with fried onions and a squeeze of lemon unlike the PH haleem.
Price
This costs rs 100 for a 150 gram container (This is 2016 pricing). They also have the 1 kg option.
During one trip here a few days back, noticed that they sell haleem brought in from some other place in Chennai. There's a "Hyderabad Haleem" label stuck on the lid. But tasting it, I did not feel like I was eating haleem. It was boringly porridgy and very peppery. Once cool it almost solidified. The spices in it did not make their presence felt too. Would not recommend.
Price
Rs 100 for close to 300 ml container.
Hotel Palmshore in Santhome
Update: Haven't tasted the haleem this year (2017) but expect it to be similar in taste to the last year.

Haleem from Ramadhan Bazaar 2016, Velachery
Update: This year (2017), the haleem is being sold in Hakico Live kitchen until 25th June apparently. Not sure about the pricing/portion size (will be higher priced this year most probably) or whether it is made by the same chef as last year. Will try to update this if I get the info.Ramadhan bazaar is being held in Deli Express Velachery right at the junction after Phoenix mall. This haleem is made by a chef brought in from Hyderabad.
