I love when you can make things in the oven taste just as good as it would when fried. These Chicken Keema Empanada are so tasty that you won't even realize that they were made in the oven and are healthier for you! I love having leftovers of the Chicken Keema and having it with rice. Try this Desi fusion recipe out, it's worth it!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium frying pan, heat oil. Add onions and fry until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic paste and fry for a couple minutes.
Add in all your spices and fry until oil separate. Add couple tbsps of water if the mixture starts to get too dry.
Add tomatoes and fry until tomatoes are melted into the spices, about 4-5 minutes. Top with cilantro and set aside for keema to cool.
Place 2-3 tbsp of the chicken keema in the center of each empanada disc. Fold in half and use a fork to seal the edges. Repeat with all the discs. Note: You will have leftover chicken keema which I love to have with rice.
Used a wire cooling rack on a baking tray, sprayed it with cooking spray, and place empanadas on sheet.
Bake empanadas for 10 minutes then broil on high for about 2 minutes or until golden and crispy (watch to make sure they don't burn), flip them and broil for another minute and half. Cool empanada and enjoy!
