You don't really find good Mughlai dishes on offer in most curry houses, but it's a wonderful school of classical Indian cooking, enriched with a decadent and colourful history involving mad wealthy Maharajah's, pious Christian missionaries, fat English civil servants; and sensational dancing naach girls with skinny brown legs and legendary muscle control.
Mughlai cuisine was largely developed by the eunach chefs (known as hijra's) working in the imperial kitchens of the Mughal Empire. Today, this gorgeous cuisine is predominant in North India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and has been strongly influenced by Persian and Turkic cuisines. The cuisine may vary from extremely mild to mildly spicy and has a distinctive fragrant aroma and taste of freshly ground and whole roasted forest spices.
Some of the Mughlai dishes on the IndiaOrganix menu come from the royal kitchens of the Chail Palace in Himachal Pradesh. In 1891, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala incurred the ungodly rage of Lord Kitchener of Khartoum (1850-1916). It led to the restriction of the Maharaja's entry into the summer capital, Shimla. This incensed the Maharaja who vowed to build a new summer capital for himself.
So he built the heavenly Chail Palace in 75 acres sourrounded by woodland, waterfalls, spice gardens, orchards and lakes.
