Ingredients
- 500 grams Minced chicken
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 1 tablespoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 large, finely chopped Tomatoes
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon or to taste Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic; sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for about 2 minutes to let the spices bloom.
Add the minced chicken to the pan, breaking any lumps using a wooden spoon. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the water, stir well, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the qeema is of desired consistency.
Add garam masala and freshly chopped cilantro, stirring to combine.
Garnish with more cilantro and serve hot, paired with gluten-free bread or rice.
