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.
