About the dish

Murgh malai is a type of Indian curry made with marinated bone-in chicken cuts and a creamy curry sauce. The chicken is often marinated in yogurt before it is simmered in a flavorful mixture of spices, onions, yogurt, and cream. Some variations add milk or use it as a cream replacement, while some versions also add a creamy cashew paste to the mix. The dish usually includes onions, green chili peppers, garlic and ginger paste, as well as spices such as garam masala, coriander, cardamom, and cumin. This dish can be served with rice, biryani, naan, or roti bread.
