I was downtown one early morning and went to Halim-Ma’navi restaurant to have a wonderful, creamy, soft, warm bowl of porridge/halim for my breakfast. Halim is a favorite traditional breakfast in Iran. It is slow cooked for a long time—usually all night—then served the next morning. Just before serving, it’s flavored with a touch of cinnamon, sugar, and a little brown butter is drizzled over it. It’s a hearty early morning meal and many Tehranis order it for takeout. By 9 in t
