Chicken Kheema


Hi All
I am back after a long time… hope you guys are enjoying…today I am going to share a very simple but extremely tasty recipe. This is all time favorite of my daughter, husband and my nephew and many friends.
You need just few ingredients and it’s the dish you can die for.
Its Chicken Kheema. Please note that the kheema /Mince that you buy should be reddish/pinkish in shade. The white ones will turn very dry and tasteless. I use Venky’s chicken kheema rolls but if it not available, just ensure that the color of mince/kheema is Pink/red

Ingredients

Chicken Kheema/Mince                                                    : 500 gms.
Finely Chopped Onion                                                      : 1 Cup
Garlic Paste                                                                     : 1 ½ tsp.
Ginger Paste                                                                    : ¾ tsp
Tomato Paste                                                                   : ¾ cup (freshly grinded)
Salt                                                                                 : as per taste
Chili powder                                                                     : as per taste
Green Cardamom                                                              : 3-4 nos.
Oil                                                                                   : 1 tbsp.

Method

Heat the wok/kadai, add oil . When the oil is heated up crush the green cardamom and put it in the oil. Add the chopped onions and fry till they turn pink. Add the ginger garlic paste and put the heat on low and fry for 5-7 minutes. Now add the freshly grinded tomato paste, chili powder and salt. PLEASE NOTE: NO TURMERIC POWDER. Cover the wok/kadai and let it simmer for some time. Stir in between. When you see oil starts leaving add the kheema/mince. Mix it well and cover. Do not add water. Kheema/mince will leave water on its own. Break the mince block in between and let it simmer for 10-15 mins. After 15 minutes just remove the cover stir well and let the water evaporate. Again you will see the mixture is leaving fat. Turn off the gas and enjoy this with Paratha, rice, etc.
You can use the same mixture for Kheema Paratha , Sandwich or cutlets.

Love
Arpita
