CHICKEN MAGALAI CURRY BONELESS

This Mughlai chicken is a dish for special occasions—not because it takes a long time to make or requires many ingredients, but because it is rich and somewhat decadent. The recipe’s mild, thick creaminess is heavily influenced by Central Asia’s food and culinary traditions, which came to India during the rule of the famous Mughal dynasty. Serve with naan, parathas, rice, or roasted potatoes for a filling and succulent meal, so rich that you can stretch it out into more servings, as a little goes a long way

Most dishes of this tradition are very elaborate and spice-heavy, and this chicken dish is one of the most renowned of this style outside of India. Best if made the day before, this is a great make-ahead celebratory meal that you can place in the fridge overnight and reheat. Although the dish is succulent when made with chicken thighs, any meat, dark or white, makes a delicious dish.
