EXCELLENT MUGHLAI ZAAFRANI MURG(MUGHLAI SAFFRON CHICKEN)
This is an ancient recipe! The word "zaafrani" means "Saffron" or what we call "Kesar" in Hindi. In my home, we use this in plenty during the winter/cooler months. The word "murg" is the Hindi equivalent for "Chicken". This delicious recipe was telecast at 11:30am Oman time on this Sunday on Mirch Masala, Star Plus. It was cooked by a chef in Jaipur who has been cooking since he was a young boy. Now, he's an old man with a long white moustache, a pot belly and a beaming smile! This chicken looked so yummy while he was cooking it in his pot on TV, I can't wait to try it, I will be doing that very soon! Join me, will you? :)
