Hareesa is a popular snack dish of Lahore Pakistan. It is a very tasty and mouth watering dish. Also Popular in Peshawar and Kashmir. However it is also well known in other cities of Pakistan. My meat seller Salman always ask me when will I cook Hareesa. When I was buying mutton from him two day back he again ask me weather you are cooking Hareesa today. I replied him yes now I am cooking Hareesa and Harees both. He also knows Harees (Arabian dish) because he also works for Shaikh Muhammad , The Ruler of Dubai, 4 month in a year. So he arrange both type of mutton for me, boneless for Pakistani Hareesa and with bone for The United Arab Emirates Harees. So I dedicate my this recipe to our Meat Merchant Salman, Rafa e Aam Society Market.
