Chiken Keema receipe by ASHA BHOSALE

Preparation time 40 minutes maximum

Ingredients
Chicken 300gms, boneless, hand chopped into small bite-sized strips
Bay Leaf 1
Onions 2 medium, chopped into small pieces
Ginger-Garlic Paste 2 tbsp
Tomatoes 2 medium, chopped into small cubes
Coriander Powder 1 tsp
Cumin 1 tsp, roasted
Red Chilli Powder a pinch (My tip: If you are using Kashmiri Chilli Powder, you could be more
generous as this lends a rich colour without making the dish more hot)
Turmeric Powder 1/2 tsp
Ashas Garam Masala 1 tsp (Well, for those who cant bag this *secret* Garama masala, youll have
to do with regular Garam masala, but dry roasted before grinding)
Fresh Coriander leaves a bunch, finely chopped
Green Chilli 1, finely chopped
Potato 2 medium, chopped into cubes with the sides measuring 3/4inch each and deep fried till
crispy
Salt As per taste
White/Corn Oil/Ghee 1/2 cup
Vegetable Oil (To fry the potatoes) 1 cup (My tip: Ive air-fried the Potatoes after rubbing the cubes
with a bit of Salt, I dont think that the taste was drastically different but I felt less guilty!)
Garnishing
Ginger 1 inch piece, julienned finely
Coriander Sprig 1 bunch
Method of Preparation
- Heat the Corn Oil or the Ghee in a Wok and add the Bay leaf (if you are using Ghee, please dont
leave it in the heated Wok for long as Ghee becomes burnt very easily and starts to smell)
- Add the finely chopped Onions and saut till they turn golden brown
- Add the Ginger-Garlic Paste
- Add the chopped Tomatoes and saut well
- Add the Coriander powder, roasted Cumin Powder, Red Chilli powder, Turmeric and Ashas Garam
Masala and cook till the oil starts releasing
- Add the Chicken and saut till the Chicken is cooked
- Add the freshly chopped Coriander leaves and green Chillies and cook well
- Fry the diced Potatoes towards the end and add this to the Keema towards the end of the
cooking(Otherwise the potatoes will turn soggy)
- Garnish with freshly chopped Coriander leaves, julienned Ginger and sprinkling of Ashas Garam
Masala (the last part was my own addition)
