Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
• 1 medium, finely chopped Green chili
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 100 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become translucent.

Step 3

Stir in 1 tablespoon of ginger garlic paste and 1 finely chopped green chili. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Step 4

Add 1 medium finely chopped tomato to the pan and cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Mix in 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir well for 1-2 minutes for the spices to release their aroma.

Step 6

Add the 500 grams of ground chicken to the pan and mix thoroughly with the spice mixture, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 7

Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat until the chicken changes color and is cooked through.

Step 8

Pour in 100 ml of water, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cover the pan. Let it cook for 10 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove the lid, add 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala, and stir well. Cook uncovered for another 3-5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 10

Turn off the heat, add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the keema, and stir well.

Step 11

Serve the keto chicken keema hot, garnished with a little extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
