Mughlai chicken

Mughlai chicken is a rich, creamy, and aromatic North Indian dish that originates from the Mughal era. Known for its luxurious, royal flavors, the dish features tender chicken pieces cooked in a thick, spiced gravy made with ingredients like yogurt, cream, ground almonds, and cashew paste. The gravy is richly spiced with garam masala, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon, giving it a complex and warm flavor profile. Onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilies add layers of flavor, while saffron or a sprinkle of coriander leaves often serve as garnish. The result is a decadent, mildly spiced curry with a silky texture, typically enjoyed with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
