Mughlai Chicken is a traditional Indian dish made with tender chicken pieces simmered in a creamy, aromatic sauce made with yogurt, coconut milk, and a blend of aromatic spices. Here is a recipe you can try at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tsp turmeric

- Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and fry until the onion is soft and translucent.
