Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean ground turkey
• 1 cup Green peas
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Tomato, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, approximately 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat slightly and add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.

Step 7

Add the lean ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until it turns brown and is thoroughly mixed with the spice base, roughly 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Mix in the yogurt and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 10

Add the green peas, stir well, and cover the pan. Let the keema simmer on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the peas to cook.

Step 11

Sprinkle the garam masala over the keema and fold well to combine. Adjust salt if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 13

Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
