Chicken Kheema or rather aloo mattar kheema. I adapted Vahrehvah Sanjay's kheema recipe and modified according to my taste.

Ingredients:
Ground Chicken - 1 lb (or) 1/2 kg
onion - 1 medium (chopped)
Potato - 1 small (cubed)
Tomato - 1 small
Green Peas - 1/2 cup

Green Chili -2  (chopped)

Cloves - 1

Bay Leaf - 1

Cinnamon -1

cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Ginger garlic paste- 2 tsp

chilli powder - 1/2 tsp

coriander powder - 1 tsp

Fennel Seeds Powder - 1 tsp

garam masala - 1 tsp

Curd - 1 cup

1.Heat oil in a kadai and add the clove, cinnamon, cardamom and bay leaf.Then add some cumin seeds.

2.When they splutter add the chopped onions.When they become little brown add the ginger garlic paste.

3.when the raw smell goes off add turmeric powder and saute.Then add the chopped green chillis

4.Add the chicken and mix it well. Break the lumps that form with the spatula. Dont add water.The chicken will cook in the water it oozes.

5.Add chilli powder,coriander powder, garam masala, fennel powder, salt and mix well. Then add the tomatoes and curd. Again mix well. Add the green peas and the potatoes.

6.Allow it to cook for 15-20 min covering the kadai with a lid.

Alternatively we can cook green peas and potaoes with salt seperately and add after the chicken is 3/4 cooked.
