We are using for the 48 ingredients on this Masala even we are concentration focusing on the masala We're first quality we're doing so especially so people are like here. That is we are one of the best Chicken keema is a simple easy to make Indian stew made from minced chicken mixed with dozens of ingredients But here they decided to give it an upgrade and not just double but triple the typical amount of ingredients Normally the keema would be served with rice and some type of Indian bread But since we're in South India the preferred way of serving it is inside a dosa Can't blame you After the batter is poured on the hot tawa top it with oil and crack in a couple eggs spread them around and let it cook Now it's time for the keema made from minced chicken tomatoes ginger garlic paste onions red chili powder salt cinnamon curd bay leaves cardamom cumin cloves turmeric ghee mustard oil garam masala and much much more Top everything with fresh coriander and serve with chicken curry.
