Ground turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are often cheaper than breast.

Start by taking 500 grams of ground chicken.

Add 2 green chilies, 2 green onions, and 1 bell pepper to the chicken.

Grind the mixture twice to ensure it's well combined.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala to the mixture.

Shape the mixture into balls and set aside.

Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a pan over low flame.

Fry the kofta balls in the oil, turning them to cook evenly on both sides.

In another pan, add 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste and sauté.

Grind 2 medium onions and add them to the pan to cook.

Grind 2 medium tomatoes and add them to the pan as well, cooking on low flame.

Add 1/2 packet of handi masala and 1/2 cup of yogurt to the mixture and mix well.

Once the masala is cooked, add the kofta balls to the pan and mix gently.

Cook on low flame for 10 to 15 minutes.

Finally, add 1/2 packet of cream and mix well before serving.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional green chilies before serving.
