About this Recipe
Macaroni is a type of dry pasta that is shaped like narrow tubes. Made from durum wheat, macaroni is typically cut in short lengths; curved macaroni is known as elbow macaroni. Some home machines can make macaroni shapes, but macaroni is typically made commercially by large-scale extrusion, as is most pasta. Different speeds of extrusion on opposite sides of the pasta tube as it exits the machine create the curved shape.
Since elbow-shaped macaroni is the most commonly used variety in macaroni and cheese recipes, the term macaroni is often used synonymously with it.
Now coming to todays recipe. This recipe is inspired from the bolognese sauce recipe. Modified the recipe a lot and made it to my taste. I always wanted to make a chicken keema pasta and finally i made it. I used chicken mince, but you could use lamb of beef as you like. Hope you will try it and let me know how it turned out for you.
Who invented keema?
Many keema delicacies were invented by the khansamas (royal cooks) of several Mughal rulers and Nawabs to please their beloved king and the royal appetite of the court. One of the most common preparations for keema is as a dry curry served with paratha or naan.

Chicken Keema / Minced Chicken:
Minced chicken is another name for chicken mince or Ground chicken. Its a finely chopped chicken cut thats a leaner alternative to beef mince. Skinless boneless chicken thighs or breasts, or a combination of the two, are commonly used.
