Mughlai Egg Curry

 

 

The Mughal cuisine is strongly influenced by Central Asian cuisine, the region where the Turco-Mongol Mughal rulers originally hailed from, and it has in turn strongly influenced the regional cuisines of modern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.This cuisine has stood with time.The taste of Mughlai cuisine varies from extremely mild to spicy, and are often associated with a distinctive aroma and the taste of ground and whole spices, dry fruits and nuts. Mughals were known for their  style and splendour.  Mughlai recipes are rich in fat, carbohydrates and proteins.Vegetarians can substitute Paneer /Mushrooms for the meat. There are many exotic recipes to suit the vegetarian palate too.

Our 67th  #Foodiemonday #Bloghop theme is #Mughlai Cuisine and my contribution is Mughlai Egg curry that is so rich in taste .
