How to make Chicken Reshmi Kebab
Trivia Mughlai cuisine is a combination of Indian cuisine and Central Asian cuisine. When Babar established his Mughal empire in India, it led to the fusion of Turko-Mongol and Persian cuisine with the Indian cuisine. The Mughlai food is spicy, aromatic and luxurious. During the rule of Shah Jahan, not only great monuments like Taj Mahal were built but also, inventions in Mughlai cuisine were at their peak! Several scrumptious dishes like biryani and lamb kebabs were re-invented. Gold and silver edible foils were used to cover food to make it more enticing! |
