Keema Shimla Mirch (Ground Chicken With Bell Peppers)

Step 1

In a medium (9-inch) pot or wok, heat ghee over medium-high until it has melted, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add onion and cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add chicken, ginger, garlic and salt, and cook on high, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and some bits of the chicken start to crisp, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Lower heat to medium and stir in cumin seeds, chile powder, coriander and turmeric. Add tomatoes and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add bell pepper and green chiles. Continue cooking on medium, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper starts to soften but still maintains some crunch, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the stove, then sprinkle with garam masala, lemon juice and fresh cilantro.
