What is Chicken Keema
Chicken Keema is an easy and quick chicken side dish made of minced chicken, onion, tomato, and few spice powders. It gets cooked in just a few mins. We can use chicken Keema as a stuffing for paratha, Samosa, and many more.
Ingredients
Chicken keema - Add good quality clean Chicken Keema. It is available in the frozen section of all supermarkets. You may use boneless chicken pieces and mice them to get the keema.
Onion, tomato - Use finely chopped onions and ripen juicy tomatoes.
Ginger garlic paste - I add ginger garlic paste in all the nonveg dishes. It is good for digestion and, it adds so much flavor to the chicken.
Spice powders - The basic Red Chili, Turmeric, Coriander, and Garam Masala powder goes into the keema along with the required Salt.
Cilantro - Coriander leaves or Cilantro gives a tasty finish to the dish.
FAQ's
Should we wash Chicken Keema?
We wash the chicken and then only prepare the keema and hence it's not necessary to wash keema. However, if you prefer you may wash. You need a muslin cloth or a fine strainer to wash the keema as it is very fine and gets washed away in the water.
Recipe Instructions
1) In a Kadai add in the oil, wait till the oil heats up then add in the fennel seeds once it cracks up add on curry leaves. Then add in finely chopped onions and fry till it becomes soft.
2) Add in ginger garlic paste and fry for about 2 mins till the raw smell leaves keep the stove in medium flame or the ginger garlic paste might get burnt. Keep on stirring
3.Next add in tomatoes and fry till the tomatoes become soft and cooked completely.
4. Then add in the Chilli powder, Coriander Powder, Turmeric powder, Garam Masala, Salt and stir well.
5) Now add in the cleaned Minced chicken and mix well, no need to add water as the chicken will get cooked in its own water.
6. Mix well and in about 8-10 mins the chicken will get cooked,
7. Add in finely chopped coriander leaves and switch off the flame.
Storage Suggestions & Tips
- Stays good in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. As it's chicken I suggest finishing it asap.
- To make your own minced chicken. Take boneless chicken pieces and add to a food processor and grind coarsely.
- I tried stuffing the chicken keema in paratha, Samosa, and Chicken buns.
Serving Suggestions
