Chicken Kheema Vs Chicken Tikka

Chicken Kheema

Kheema is a traditional South Asian meat dish. Originally this word meant minced meat.

Normally Kheema is made with Mutton. But we can use Chicken also instead of mutton.

I have made Chicken Kheema and it tasted great.

I have mentioned the recipe below courtesy food.com

Ingredients:

·         1 lb ground chicken

·         1 bunch green onion

·         ½ yellow onion

·         1 teaspoon pullao biryani masala (I used Shan's Masalas)

·         ½ teaspoon chicken tikka masala

·         2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

·         1 tomato , diced

·         ¼ teaspoon ginger , finely sliced for topping

Directions:

Heat oil in a large skillet, while oil heats thinly slice both the green and yellow onions.

Add to the pan and stir fry until light golden brown.

Add ground chicken, pullao biryani masala and chicken tikka masala to the skillet and stir fry for around 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Pour into serving plate and top with diced tomato and ginger. Enjoy!

Chicken Tikka

Chicken tikka is a chicken dish in Indian and Pakistani cuisine. It is popular in all over the world. It is traditionally small pieces of boneless chicken in the form of kabab. The word tikka means “pieces". Chicken tikka is also prepared as Masala Chicken Tikka in Punjab , India.

I haven’t made this dish and will prepare it in the future.
