Directions

  1. Wash chicken keema in a strainer. Drain well and set aside.

  3. Stir in cumin seeds. Sauté the cumin seeds in the ghee until they begin to crackle and pop.
  4. Once the whole spices have released their aroma, add ginger and garlic paste.

Fry the ginger-garlic paste for a minute.

  1. Stir in chopped onions and cook on medium-low flame until the onions become translucent and golden brown.

Stir in crushed tomatoes.

  1. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the oil starts to separate.
  2. Add all the spices – Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, and garam masala powder.

Add yogurt and mix to combine.

  1. Now add kasoori methi. Cook until the oil separates.

Add cream and mix it well.

  1. Once everything well blended, add the chicken mince.
  2. Cook the chicken mince over medium heat. Keep mixing and stirring frequently to prevent lump formation.
  3. Cook until the mince is evenly brown, for 5 – 8 minutes.
  4. Add matar and cook for another 2-3 minutes until peas are soft.
  5. Garnish the Chicken Keema matar with fresh cilantro leaves and serve warm with Tandoori Rotis or over the bed of warm basmati rice.
