Chicken Keema Masala

Share

Description:

                Keema means minced meat. Keema can be made with almost all the meats lamb meat, Chicken etc. Here I share my Chicken Keema masala recipe.

Ingredients:

1. Minced Chicken

2. Onion - 1

3. Potato - 1

4. Green Chili- 2

5. Capsicum - 1

6. Tomato - 1/2

7. Ginger

8. Garlic

9. Chili powder - 1tsp

10. Garam masal - 1/2 tsp

11. Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

12. Chicken Masala - 1/2 tsp(Optional)

13. Whole Cumin/ Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
14. Milk(optional)

15. Salt to taste

Procedure:

                  Take the minced Chicken in a bowl and add very little milk to it. This step is done to make the minced Chicken soft and loose, so that no lumps will be formed when we cook it. This step can be avoided also, but I start with this step. Next chop the Onion, Giner, Garlic, Capsium, Green Chili and tomatoes into small pieces. Take the pan add Oil, put the ginger, Green chili and Garlic first into it. We can use Ginger/garlic paste also .  Next add the chopped Onions and Salt  into the pan and saute till the Onions become transparent. Add the chopped Capsicum into the pan and stir. Next goes the minced Chicken. Add salt as required, Chili powder, Turmeric powder, Chicken Masala, Garam masala powder and Cumin powder. Mix all the ingredients really well. We don't have to add any extra water into the pan, because the minced Chicken will ooze out water. 

             Close the pan lid and let it cook for some 5 mnts. Do stir it well in between. After 5 minutes add the tomatoes. Again close the lid and let it cook for 7-8 mnts. Now time to add the Potatoes. Before the Keema gets dry we have to add the potato. Add the chopped Potatoes and let it cook for some time with the lid  closed. Check it between whether the potatoes are cooked. When the Potatoes are 90% cooked, remove the lid and allow all the excess water to evaporate, so that we get our Keema really dry and tasty. Finally before the Keema is fully done, take some garlic clove and whole pepper, Crush it and add it to the Chicken  Keema.  It gives a good flavor. We can skip this step, but I would suggest it. Granish it before serving. Chicken Keema goes good with Rotis, Rice, Naans, Sandwich fillings etc.

Chicken Seekh kebab

Share

Description:

                

               Seekh kebabs are made of minced meat and grilled on a skewers. Seekh kebabs can be made with Lamb, Chicken etc. Here goes my recipe for Chicken Seekh kebab.

Ingredients:

1. Minced Chicken - 250 gms

2. Ginger

3. Garlic

4. Corinder leaves

5. Onions/ Fried onions - 1 cup

6. Garam masala - 1 tsp

7. Chili powder - 1tsp

8. Corinder powder - 1 tsp

9. Lemon juice - 2 tspn

10. Egg -1

11. Salt to taste
12. Garam masala - 1/2 tspn

Procedure:

          First take the minced Chicken and mix it with hands nicely in a bowl to break all lumps. Chop Onions, Ginger and Garlic  into very small pieces . Take a pan, pour oil and add the Onions first. Saute the Onions for few seconds, add the Ginger and Garlic, then salt also. Cook it for just few secs and remove it from the stove. Instead raw onion we can even use fried Onions. Just add the fried onions together with Ginger and Garlic into the minced meat. Now take the minced meat and remove any moist on it with a tissue paper. Then add the mixture, Chili powder, Corinder powder, Garam masala, Salt and chopped cilantro leaves. Mix it properly with hand and add in the Egg white. Add the Egg as per the amount of the minced meat mixture. Its not necessary to add an entire Egg if the mixture is less. If we add more egg white then the mixture will become very mushy and difficult to stick it to the skewers.

        We add the lemon juice to the mixture or we can even squeeze the lemon juice on top of the Kebabs when then are ready to be served. Keep the mixture in fridge for at least 30-45mnts. Meanwhile make your skewers ready. If you are using a bamboo Skewer then soak it in water for almost 30 minutes. After sometime take out the mixture from the fridge. Now its time to grill. The mixture should be dry with no moist in it, otherwise it will not stick to the skewers.  Unfortunately if you find that the mixture is mushy and moist is there, then  add little bread crumbs. It will absorb all the moist, but we usually don't add bread crumbs in Seekh Kebab.(This is an optional step which you can do only if the mixture contains moist and is difficult to stick on the skewers.) 

       Take the Skewers( Bamboo/Metal skewers)  for grilling the Kebabs. Take small portions of the meat mixture and stick it to the Skewers length wise. We can grill the Seekh kebabs in a  stove griller or  in the Oven. If using an oven then don`t forget to pre heat the oven. I used a simple stove griller this time. It will take almost 15-20 minutes to cook. Brush little oil on top and  cook for some 7- 8 minutes.When the top starts getting brown, turn it over and cook for another 6-7 minutes. Once its done take out the Kebabs from the skewers and keep it on a plate. Garnish the Seekh kebabs and serve hot with Chutney. Hope all of you will try it at home. Thanks.

Chicken Tikka

Share

Description:

             Chicken Tikka is traditionally baked  small pieces of boneless chicken skewers.

Ingredient:

1. Boneless chicken breasts - 250gms

2. Thick Curd  - 2 to 3tspn

3. Lemon juice

4. Ginger/Garlic paste

4. Chilli powder - 1/2 teaspoon

5. Garam masala

6. Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon

7. Onions

8. Yellow & Red pepper

9. Pepper powder

10. Salt

Procedure:

            First marinate the Chicken . The chicken can be marinated for 5-6 hrs or more, longer the marination the masalas will get into the Chicken which will give a good taste. Lets make the marination, take a bowl put the chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, Pepper powder, salt, squeeze in the lemon juice, ginger/garlic paste and mix well. Next add the curd and always use thick curd for tikka. Mix it well with the masalas. Now cut the chickens in small cubes and put it into the marination and mix nicely. Cut the onions, yellow & red pepper into small square pieces and add it into the marination. Leave the marination for some hours.

         Meanwhile take the wooden skewers, if you are using wooden Skewers then soak it in water for atleast 20minutes before cooking, so that the moist goes inside the skewers and it wonn't get burnt while cooking. Now insert the chicken pieces , yellow&red peppers and onions one after another into the skewers. The Tikka can be cooked in Oven or in a stove grill. I usually the stove  grill to make the chicken tikka. Once the chicken is placed on the skewers, keep it on a grill and allow to cook for around 15-20 minutes. Cook one side for some 10 minutes and other for some 8-10 minutes. Before turning over the chicken  apply oil on the Tikka with a brush. If we don't apply oil then the Tikka's will become very dry. Apply oil and turn it over for the other side to get cooked. Once the chicken tikka is ready take it out and keep on a plate. Garnish the Tikka's with some Coriander/Mint leaves. If we put a bit of Chat masala over the Tikka, it will also taste good. Chicken Tikka can served with Corinder/ Tamirand chutney. Hope all liked the recipe. Thanks!!
