Ever since I was a little girl living in India ,Taj Mahal and its history always struck me by its articulate beauty and the Era it was built in. Mughal’s and British rule has left a remarkable history which fascinates every Indian I meet, even the ones who visit this beautiful Taj Mahal located in Delhi. The Mughal’s left us many dishes that are yet to be discovered by the world. This Mughlai Chicken curry is one of these old recipes made till today in parts of North India. I’m thrilled to be able to put my own twist on this exquisite and delectable curry dish and bring it to my blog. The curry has its’ sweet, buttery, tangy and spicy taste that leave you wanting more. Serving with a hot homemade naan is the best way to try this delicacy. Do give it a try!
