  1. Marinate the ground meat (kheema) with ingredients listed from 3 – 15 and refrigerate it for atleast 30 minutes.
  2. Transfer the marinated meat mixture and the chopped tomatoes into a pressure cooker. Add 1 cup of water and more salt if needed.
  3. Pressure cook on medium heat for around 10 minutes or for 2-3 whistles.
  4. When the pressure subsides, open the pan and stir the minced meat breaking up any pieces sticking together. Saute on medium heat for 5 more minutes so that the gravy thickens.
  5. Alternatively, you can slow cook the ground chicken in a covered non stick pan for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
