Don’t know why I took so long to post this recipe. I have been always a huge fan of kheema. It all started during my college days in Belgaum. My pacchi (mom’s sister) makes a killer mutton kheema. I absolutely loved it. Although I do not prefer eating mutton, that must be the only dish I truly loved.
When I moved to Bangalore, I started making this regularly with ground chicken. Then we moved to US and I forgot everything about it. I think that was because V is not a big fan of kheema. But then one day, about a year ago, I remembered it and started searching for ground chicken here. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Then one day, one of my colleagues pointed me to it. Immediately I tried this recipe. It came out so well.

A chill ran up my spine when I saw the title of this post as I was scrolling through my recent “Latest Headlines” e-mails from FoodBlogs, so I had to open it and got a good laugh.
I’m half Armenian, and for us, Kheema is a raw dish, like Steak Tartare. I couldn’t imagine anyone eating raw chicken!! LOL
Very flavorful recipe. So mouthwatering/ YUM!
Oh! Now you’re making me feel nostalgic about home…mutton kheema’s an all-time favourite of mine!

Sorry, never tried grinding chicken at home. I am sure you can find some pointers by googling
I always grind chicken at home. Just do it in the ixia together with the chilies and ginger
made this ,came out really well! thanks. for other comments you get ground chicken in farmers market.
Hey – just to say, awesome recipe. Have used it a few times and it always comes out delicious.
Can we substitute ground Turkey instead of chicken? Can the recipe be modified so that the ground turkey does not lump up?
Thanks,
Ashish
Sorry, never cooked turkey, so don’t know
Looks good! How long do you cook the ground chicken?
I cook for around 10mins.
