Maharaja Chicken

Maharaja Chicken is a boosting recipe by Chef Zarnak Sidhwa with lots of flavors. A fabulous dish to serve your family and guests. I omit nuts and dried fruit from the recipe while tried and the taste and texture was super delicious. The original recipe calls for 3 cups oil but I used only 1 cup. You can do a little up and down in the recipe according to your taste.
