Keema Chana Dal Recipe

                                                              

Keema Chana Dal | Fry Keema || How to make Keema Chana Dal with step-by-step photos 

Fried Dal Keema is a yummy, flavored, aromatic, and spicy dish. Keema or minced meat cooked with channa dal in an amazing spicy masala gravy. This delicious recipe is made by adapting to the restaurant style.

Though this recipe contains high-calorie meals, as I have been telling you all, traditional meals become so delicious if you make them with ghee. If you have health issues, then you must skip using ghee in traditional dishes. You can use healthy, low-calorie oil.   

 

You can make this fried keema dal with lamb, chicken, or mutton. I used beef mince. Additionally, you can also skip chana dal from this recipe, and it can be served only with fried keema or added beans or green peas of your choice.e             

                            

WHAT IS KEEMA?

Keema literally means to mince anything. In broader terms, keema means Indian Pakistani curried minced meat. The usual ingredients are ground meat of lamb, mutton, or beef, fried onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and Indian spices like cumin, turmeric, chilies, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and pepper. Cilantro is almost always used to garnish. 

What else can I add to Keema?

If you love a combo of veggies, add green peas to make keema Matar curry or add potato to make Aloo keema curry.

 

Another trick is to fry the mince until you see a golden brown ting in qeema (browning) and the oil separates profusely. This is like searing and is called bhuna ( bhun-na) in Urdu.  Serve it with nan, chapati, or roti, raita, and some fresh cucumber salad.

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips.

                                                    

          

Recipe notes:

1. Mincemeat: Best-tasting fried keema is made with beef mince that has 20% fat. However, for healthy options, you may take low-fat lamb leg mince.
2. Ghee: In this recipe, ghee is the key to enhancing the taste buds since in all traditional foods can’t be compromised with, but as I have mentioned above, you can use oil, I recommend olive oil or corn oil
3.  Ginger garlic: Chopped ginger garlic will be used in this recipe, as fresh chopped ginger garlic produces an earthy taste in the meal
4. Bengal gram: lentil quantity 4th part of the mincemeat, most important, don’t overcook chana dal in this. We require 90% cooked chana dal, and the rest of 10% will be cooked with mincemeat
5. Roasting keema: Making a delicious recipe depends on roasting keema with spices and ghee. The more you roast keema, the more the taste will enhance
6. If you want the best-tasting keema bursting with traditionally Pakistani restaurant flavors, use fresh spices. This means using freshly minced ginger, garlic, and chilies. The fresher the better

Chicken Soupy Noodles || Chicken Noodles Soup|| How to Make Chicken Soupy Noodles with step-by-step photos and Video.

Chicken Soupy Noodles with vegetables are my own version, which contains healthy ingredients like desi chicken, vegetables, and the boiled egg, which makes you an energetic, wholesome meal due to the content of desi yakhni.
I will never prefer using instant noodles with spice makers, as they are based on harmful chemicals. The soup mix has a high amount of sodium and many preservatives and chemicals that are very dangerous. 

The instructions on many instant noodles tell you to allow the noodles to cool before you add the soup mix, which hints at dangerous chemicals that should not be exposed to heat. You can add simple spices to the noodles, which taste and look just as delicious or even more. The total cooking time is only five minutes. Enjoy steamy, warm goodness without the danger.

Chicken Jalfrezi With Chili Fried Rice Recipe

                                                                                 

Learn how to make Chicken Jalfrezi with Chili Rice using our easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and accompanying photos and video. This delicious dish features tender chicken cooked in a flavorful sauce and paired with perfectly spiced fried rice.

Chicken Jalfrezi is a tomato-based curry with boneless chicken pieces, bell peppers, and onion. Unlike most traditional curries, Jalfrezi is often stir-fried instead of stewed or braised. This lends it a thick, semi-dry texture instead of a soupy one like that of Classic Chicken Curry.

Here I have also prepared chili garlic rice to serve with chicken jalfrezi. A lip-smacking and flavored chicken jalfrezi with chili garlic fried rice, along with chilled soft drinks, will make your day. Try this 😊

A small number of selected people gathering with lots of gossip tends to affect your mood. At the weekend, certainly, no need to rush to go outside or be bored; you can enjoy each moment with your loved ones, family, and friends at home.

                                                           

Check out my latest video featuring Chicken Jalfrezi with Chili Fried Rice:

This is the reason most of the time my first priority is to make delicious recipes with fun and enjoy with my loved ones. Anyway, let's proceed with the recipe.

Though I have shared the chicken jalfrezi recipe initially in my blog post, and this recipe is 2nd version of jalfrezi with video and chili garlic fried rice

What exactly is Chicken Jalfrezi?

Chicken Jalfrezi is a chicken curry made with traditional onion and tomato masala. It is characterized by including large, cubed pieces of capsicum (bell pepper) added towards the end of the cooking time, so they keep their color and bite. Some versions of Chicken Jalfrezi also add large pieces of onion, but my recipe doesn’t.

What sets a Chicken Jalfrezi apart from other regular curries is the slightly tangy addition of vinegar at the end, which makes it rather reminiscent of more Indo-Chinese style curries such as Chicken Manchurian.

                                                        

Some of the Chinese recipes are included in my blog; you can find them by clicking the link, just like CHICKEN MANCHURIAN, EGG FRIED RICE, SOUPY NOODLES, SPICY NOODLES, FRIED RICE, and CHICKEN SHASHLIK.

I also made chili garlic fried rice to go with the chicken jalfrezi. This rice is quick and simple to prepare and can be made in just 10 minutes using leftover boiled rice.

This recipe can assist you in creating dishes of restaurant quality, and with the help of my tips, you can even customize it to achieve a restaurant-style dish.

TIPS:

If you are using fresh homemade tomato puree, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato ketchup or two tablespoons of tomato paste to enhance the flavor and add an umami taste.

For fried rice, it is best to use leftover, cold, boiled rice to achieve the best results without any sticky grains or breakages. If you do not have leftover boiled rice, you can boil the rice for five minutes, then refrigerate it until completely cool before using it in the recipe.

How to prepare Chicken Jalfrezi served with Chili Garlic Rice?

To begin, cut the onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes into square-shaped pieces. Make sure to remove the seeds from the tomatoes.

                                                      

First, finely chop the garlic. 

  

Then, cut the boneless chicken into bite-sized cubes. 

       

Peel and slice the carrots and capsicums into thin, long pieces.

                                  

Lastly, cut the green chilies into thin, long strips.

In a wok or pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and capsicums and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Once done, remove from the heat.

                                                                      

In a wok or pan, add oil and heat it up. Then, add chopped garlic and let it cook for a minute. Next, add chicken cubes and fry them with the garlic until the pink color disappears. 

Once the chicken turns white, add spices such as salt, chili flakes, crushed coriander, turmeric powder, and crushed black pepper. Stir everything together to ensure it is well-mixed.

                                                                      

Next, add a small amount of garam masala mix to the dish. Then, include the tomato puree. If you need the recipe for the TOMATO PUREE, it is available in my previous blog post. Simply click the link to access it.

                                                 

                   

To make the chicken tender, add spices and stir on medium-low flame before pouring in water. Once it boils, cover and cook on a medium flame for 15 minutes.

                           

Remove the lid and add sautéed veggies, mixing well. Finally, add tomato cubes and combine them with the chicken masala and veggies.

                                   

At the end of the cooking process, cover the dish and let it simmer over a low flame for approximately 5 minutes. Be sure to keep the flame very low,

as too much heat can cause the chicken jalfrezi to become dry. After 5 minutes, add julienne ginger and allow it to simmer for an additional 3 minutes.

                         

To prepare the chili fried rice, heat some oil in a separate pan or wok. Sesame oil works best for cooking fried rice, but you can use olive oil if you prefer. Add chopped garlic and fry for a minute. 

                                       

Then add thin slices of carrot and sauté with garlic for another minute. 

      

Next, add long, thin capsicum and sauté it for another minute. Once cooked, set the vegetables aside. 

                                        

                             

Crack an egg in the pan next to the sautéed ve, then add, sprinkle some salt and white pepper over the egg. Then, use a spatula to crumble the egg before adding long, thin green chilies. 

                    

Mix everything together before adding boiled, cold rice and mixing it with the masala. 

                           

Finally, add boiled rice, oyster sauce, and salt, and keep mixing everything over a medium-high flame.

                                                     

Before serving, taste the rice and adjust the level of spices as necessary. Continue to stir-fry the rice over high heat for another 2-3 minutes. Once done, your chili fried rice is ready.

                                  

Transfer your chicken jalfrezi and fried rice onto a serving bowl and plate.e 

                    

Serve hot immediately with this delicious chicken jalfrezi with fried rice.
