Ingredients
- 500 grams minced chicken (or turkey)

- 1 large, finely chopped onion
- 2 medium, pureed tomato
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 finely chopped green chili
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder

- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chili to the onions, and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Step 4
Stir in the pureed tomatoes, and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the oil begins to separate from the sides.
Step 5
Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the minced chicken or turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 7
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the frozen peas. Stir everything together, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 8
Uncover the pan and add the garam masala. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
