Chicken Keema is a quick and easy Indian style chicken mince recipe. Chicken Keema is a hot and spicy Indian curry made using minced chicken, onions, tomatoes, and spices. This one-pot dish is super easy to make and comes together in under 30 minutes.
This keema is nothing but the minced form of boneless chicken and it is not made often as most people prefer to use mutton keema rather than chicken ka keema. This is a perfect side dish for many of the main course recipes and it takes less time to cook compared to mutton as well.
We often think of only mutton keema whenever we think of keema recipe but not many know that chicken keema is also used. The chicken is added to the prepared spice masala and then cooked for about 8-10 mins.
