Keema Matar

Last week I purchased some ground chicken but while buying I was not sure what I am going to do with that. I wanted to use as stuffing for any dish but then I thought to cook in different way. So finally I prepared some easy KEEMA MATAR with the ground chicken. KEEMA MATAR  is a very famous North Indian dish but most of the time it is made with ground mutton or lamb. I just used chicken instead of any red meat, the taste was really good. I know all my chicken lovers friends going to love this dish. I just cooked the ground chicken with lots of spices and after removing from the flame I added some frozen peas.

8.One tea spoon beaten yogurt.
