The recipe shared here is much similar to this mutton keema. You can also use this recipe to make boiled egg keema or soya keema.
I have used homemade chicken mince so it is not fine. If using ready minced meat or machine minced meat the texture will be more fine.
This chicken keema is easy to make, tastes delicious and can be used in so many other ways. It can be used as a stuffing in your samosas, sandwiches, wraps, kathi rolls, parathas etc.
If using for parathas or kebabs then make sure you use fine mince.
To make this chicken keema ensure you use an aromatic spice powder like a meat masala or a good garam masala. The flavor of your dish depends on the spice powder you use. I used a store bought meat masala powder here.
This recipe will give you a dry keema. If you prefer to make a gravy or curry then you can simply pour some coconut milk or cashew milk towards the end. I have included the details in the recipe card below.
