Chicken keema kali mirch or black pepper chicken mince. A spicy delicious dry curry with minced chicken, black pepper, cashew nuts and aromatic spices. Easy and simple recipe but taste is scrumptious. Best accompany with any Indian flatbread.

This chicken keema kali mirch is one of my daughter's favorite dish which she loves to enjoy in restaurant. When I was planning to make this dish she asked me to let her cook this restaurant style dish. Earlier she sometimes clicked my food pictures. But first time she made the dish and clicked. And its made me really happy. I amazed after tasting the dish. Taste is just awesome.

Blogger group

This post is going to be featured on Facebook gourmet group Shhhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge. In this group every month one of the members decide the theme. And members paired to give two secret ingredients each other. Best part is we paired every month with different bloggers so that we can interact each other. Sometimes we become very good friend. And after preparing the dish members share a picture of the dish and other members have to guess the ingredients. Fun game isn't it?

Theme of this month is Restaurant Style Food suggested by Aruna who blog at Vasusvegkitchen. Aruna has a wonderful blog. I have to try her Pepper rice

This month my partner is Mayuri who blog at Mayuris Jikoni. I love her collection of restaurants style dishes. Recently bookmarked her Momo soup to try. Mayuri gave me Kasuri methi and lemon. I am sharing this chicken keema recipe using these ingredients. And I gave her ginger and ketchup as secret ingredients. Mayuri shared Kenyan style masala chips.

Recipe is very easy to make. For better taste cook on low flame. For ground spices with cashew nuts boil everything till soft or microwave for 10 minutes. Then grind into a smooth paste. Don't skip freshly crushed black pepper. It will give lovely taste and strong flavour of black pepper. At last taste and adjust salt and lemon juice if required. If you want your dish more spicy add more green chilli and black pepper. And if you are making for kids reduce the amount of green chilli and black pepper.
