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.
