Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Plant-based minced chicken
- 1 large Onion
- 2 medium Tomato
- 150 grams Green peas
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 pieces Green chili
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 1 bunch Cilantro
- 1 small Lemon
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chilies.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the onions and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped green chilies, followed by the tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and oil begins to separate.
Add coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the tomato-onion mixture. Cook the spices for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
Fold in the plant-based minced chicken and mix well until fully combined with the masala.
Add the green peas and mix again. Lower the heat and cover the pan. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the keema to absorb the flavors.
Uncover the pan, sprinkle with garam masala, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
Serve hot with naan, rice, or roti for a complete meal.
