I wanted to try chicken kheema for a long time. One of the times before I was going to make Idili I saw ground chicken at Whole Foods, couldn’t resist buying as they go very well together.

If you don’t like Mutton, this one is a good alternative. I love to make it spicy so cut the spicy level according to your taste.

Do not over cook the chicken it will make the chicken tough. Add a little more spices for the chicken to absorb the taste fully.
