Chicken Keema Recipe is chicken mince made with spices, herbs and green peas. In Mumbai keema pav is very famous along with their maska buns. This is an easy yet delicious recipe of Chicken Keema with matar. Mince is also known as keema, kheema or qeema.
I have used boneless chicken mince you could use mutton mince. We love chicken mince hence made Chicken Keema. You could eat chicken keema with pav, roti or rice with some salad or raita.
The best part of chicken keema is you could use them as stuffing in samosas, parathas, sandwiches etc. Keema even tastes great when stuffed in bread with omelet and some sauce or chutney.
I have tried shahi chicken keema and chicken keema paratha. Also, I have tried several chicken recipe son blog like chicken masala curry, mughlai chicken masala, pepper chili fry chicken, mughlai chicken korma, spinach chicken and potato curry, thai chicken curry and butter chicken.

I have a doubt that is it necessary to wash the store bought keema before cooking..?
maria says
Its necessary to wash as the keema might have blood so it’s advisable to wash them. Wash them on a mesh sieve hope this help’s you.
