Chicken Keema

Got the inspiration to cook this from Busygran. As usual I didn't totally follow the exact recipe so here is my version.

Ingredients:

Minced meat (from two palm sized chicken fillet). Marinate with curry powder (or turmeric and chili powder), mixed spice powder, corn flour, light soy sauce and a bit of cooking oil.

(A) Cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, cardamon, crushed black peppercorns, fennel seeds, curry leaves.

(B) 5 medium shallots, 3 cloves garlic, 1" ginger (chopped)

Curry paste with some mix spice powder

Carrots, potatoes (cubed)

Tomatoes, green chili

2 Tbsp santan

Salt to taste

Method:

1. Heat oil and stir fry (A). Add (B) and continue to stir fry till fragrant.

2. Throw in the minced meat and fry fry fry. Add in the curry paste.

3. Throw in the pototoes, carrots and bell peppers, with sufficient water and simmer. Stir occasionally.

4. When amost ready, throw in the tomatoes, santan and salt.

5. Simmer some more and it is ready to serve.

Notes:

* Boil the potatoes first so that it'll be soft and nice.

* Bell peppers make good replacement for green chili.

* You may also add in green peas or chick peas.

* I used whole cherry tomatoes - the sweet-sour tomato taste wasn't really infused in the dish so I added a tablespoon of tomato sauce.
