Mughlai Chicken
This is one of my topmost crowd pleaser recipes. It is one of those ‘special occasion’ creamy, decadent and satisfying dishes that was created to please the palates of royalty. I love serving Mughlai chicken over plain rice or with a side of soft fluffy naans.
Date Almond Shake
One of my favorite after Iftar drinks. This healthy and delicious shake will both fill you up as well as give you that extra burst of energy that will refresh & rejuvenate your body after a long day of fasting.
