About Mughlai chicken

Mughlai Chicken is a rich, flavorful dish originating from the Mughal Empire in India, celebrated for its indulgent use of spices and creamy texture. This dish features chicken marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and yogurt, simmered in a velvety base of onion, tomato, cream, and ground nuts such as cashews or almonds. Its savory, mildly spiced profile is enhanced with cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. While Mughlai Chicken is high in protein thanks to its primary ingredient, it is also calorie-dense due to the heavy use of cream, ghee, and nuts. It provides essential nutrients such as iron and vitamin B6 but should be enjoyed in moderation due to its rich fat content. Pairing it with whole-grain options like brown rice or whole-wheat naan can help balance its nutritional profile while delivering authentic South Asian flavors.
