- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 inch Cinnamon stick

- 500 ml Chicken broth

Instructions
Start by prepping all your ingredients. Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the cinnamon stick and bay leaf, followed by the chopped onion. Sauté the onions until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces, and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides.
Introduce coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
Add the cauliflower rice to the pot, stirring well to ensure it is fully immersed in the liquid.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the flavors are well melded.
Remove the lid and add the chopped green chilies, stirring well.
Taste and adjust the salt or other spices as needed.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Serve the Keto Kichro hot, savoring the aromatic spices and tender chicken with every bite.
