Mughlai cuisine was developed in medieval culture of Mughal Empire. It is the the great fusion of Central and South Asian recipes, ingredients and cuisines. Mughlai Recipe mainly uses nuts and saffron which produces the richness at next level. It is said in history books that The Mughal Emperor Akbar had only vegetarian meals for 3 days in a week
so the Royal Chefs were used to do experiment with vegetarian dishes to bring Royal flavors in emperor’s food.
Mugali Paneer is a royal dish made by cashew and saffron. I hope you will love it and experience the Royal Richness. My recipe is very easy to follow but will bring on the A Great Mughlai delight !
