Mughlai Mushroom Malai is rich, creamy and delicious curry. Mughlai Mushroom Malai is perfect side dish, goes well with naan, roti or paratha. Mughlai Mushroom Malai is one of my favorite recipes that uses basic Mughlai masalas such as coriander powder, garam masala and kasuri methi. Serve this versatile dish as a subji with hot parathas or as a curry with hot steamed rice.
Mughlai food is one of the most popular cuisine, whose origin can be traced back to the times of Mughal Empire. Mughlai cuisine consists of the dishes that were prepared in the kitchens of the royal Mughal Emperors. Indian cuisine is predominantly influenced by the cooking style practiced during the Mughal era. The tastes of Mughlai cuisine vary from extremely mild to spicy, and are often associated with a distinctive aroma and the taste of ground and whole spices. There are so many Mughlai dishes like Shahi Biryani, Shahi paneer, Achari Gobhi, etc. so many dishes mostly based on nut gravys, aromatic spices and rich creamy texture. So today Im presenting this royal dish Mughlai Mushroom Malai which is inspired by Mughlai cuisine.
