Mughlai dishes are for special occasions because it is rich and decadent tasting. The chicken's mild, thick, creamy gravy is inspired by the food of Mughal dynasty. However, when we hear of mughal dishes, what comes to our mind is long hours of kitchen. But, the recipe I present here can be completed in less than an hour, if planned properly.
