Mughlai Chicken Recipe

 

What is Mughlai Chicken ?

Originating from northern India, Mughal Chicken Curry is  another culinary treasure of Mughal royal cuisine. This is a rich and flavorful dish that consists of succulent chicken simmered in a thick curry sauce with nuts like almonds or cashews.  I added Greek yogurt  curry because it adds a lot of flavor and is high in protein.  In addition, the curry is seasoned with a mixture of aromatic spices that give this dish a wonderful aroma and taste. Slightly aged and intensely aromatic; and not spicy at all.
