Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Murgh methi malai is a creamy and flavorful chicken dish. Though fairly easy to make, it tastes like something special you would order in a good indian restaurantWhen i cook murgh methi malai at my place, i usually do so when i am entertaining. The house is filled with a delicious fragrance a fitting welcome to hungry guests as they walk in. The beautiful fragrance has to do with how the ghee used in the cooking acts as a solvent for the essential oils in the spices. The fenugreek leaves called for in the recipe lend an incredible, earthy taste to this recipe, which goes really well with freshly prepared naan or chapatis.
