Ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 green chili, finely chopped (adjust according to spice preference)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Sautéing the Aromatics:

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add chopped onions and sauté until they become golden brown.


Adding Spices:

Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chili. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the onions with the spices.


Cooking Ground Chicken:

Add the ground chicken to the pan. Break up any lumps and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through.


Incorporating Tomatoes:

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil begins to separate from the masala.


Enhancing Flavors:

Sprinkle garam masala over the chicken kheema and mix well. Adjust salt and spice levels to taste.


Simmering:

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the kheema simmer for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to achieve the desired consistency.


Garnish and Serve:

Garnish the Chicken Kheema with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve hot with steamed rice, Indian bread (roti or naan), or use it as a filling for wraps or sandwiches.
