Chicken Kheema Curry with Potatoes (Paleo, AIP)

Hyderabadi kheema curryUntil recently I used to always use chicken kheema(minced chicken) to only make shaami kabobs.  Now this kheema curry is frequently on our menu for weekends.  I came across ‘Hyderabadi Kheema curry’ on youtube while browsing hyderabadi recipes.  That recipe used mutton mince which is what is used traditionally.  However, since I don’t eat red meat now, I decided to try making Kheema curry using chicken instead.  I decided to add the potatoes since them I love 🙂 Using minced chicken also eliminates the step of cutting the chicken pieces so this curry comes together pretty fast.!

Kasoori methi adds a wonderful flavor to this curry. And you could have it just with some salad on the side. That way you can cut down your carbs. Or if you have no problem with carbs, you can have this curry with some freshly baked bread and or rotis or rice!

  1. Hmm… I purchased ground turkey today, with no specific use in mind…do you think I could substitute it for the chicken?? This sounds really good! Especially with the potatoes!

    • Ansolutely Nancy. The flavors will definitely go well with the minced turkey as well. Yes I love the potatoes in this curry too!

    • ha ha Jhuls! yes mine does the same whenever I cook this. How are you doing? I did reply back to your email. Lmk how you are doing. Hugs to you!

  2. The chicken kheema would be great with some rice. I like the addition of kasoori methi. Here, we usually use fenugreek seeds but not the leaves but I can imagine the added flavour of the leaves. Thanks for bringing this to the fiesta, Indu! Hope you are having a good weekend.

    • Hi Ahila! Yes kasoori methi gives it a nice touch! And next time I ‘ll try adding methi seeds too in some form. thanks for mentioning. And thx for co-hosting FF. Hope you are having a good time!
