Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies, sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until it turns white and starts browning, about 8-10 minutes.
Mix in ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the chicken with spices.
Add the chopped tomato, salt, and low-fat yogurt. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
Sprinkle garam masala and lemon juice over the keema, and stir well.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the keema is aromatic and slightly thickened.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot with chapati, rice, or enjoy as a topping for baked potatoes or whole-grain bread.
