Mughlai cuisine is renowned for its rich, spicy flavors, blending diverse spices and herbs like garlic, ginger, and cumin with ingredients like almonds and walnuts. While some Mughlai dishes can be complex, others, like the tandoori chicken marinade, are simple to recreate at home with a few key ingredients. Different meats require specific marinades—chicken benefits from acidic elements like lemon juice, while lamb pairs well with sweeteners like honey.
