Chicken Mughlai As I earlier mentioned in my blog, Shahi dishes emerged from the royal kitchens of Mughals and were strongly influenced by Persian and Turkish cuisine and culture. The complex cooking techniques with usage of rich and creamy sauces, elaborate spices, nuts and fruits gives Mughlai dishes a unique blend of aromas and flavours that is unparalleled and unmatched. One such classic recipe is the Chicken Mughlai which is not just delicious but also has unsurpassed flavours. The magic of fried onions, creamy cashew-almond paste and relatively simpler spices than other Mughlai dishes, this dish is unique in its own way. I have tried to keep it as simple as possible with lesser ingredients and simple spices available at home.             Preparation time: 30 mins Cooking time: 30 mins Servings: 2-3 persons Ingredients: 500 gms chicken 1 cup thick curd 1 large onion sliced 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste 8-9 almonds 8-9 cashews 1 tbsp oil 2 tbsp ghee 1 tsp cumin powder 1
