Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 large Tomato, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes until it's no longer pink.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped tomato, salt, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, and turmeric powder.
Step 6
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the oil starts to separate.
Step 7
Uncover and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate any excess liquid, stirring continuously.
Step 8
Once the qeema reaches your desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in freshly chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
