How long does Mughlai Chicken Changezi keep in the fridge?

Mughlai Chicken Changezi keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Mughlai Chicken Changezi ahead of time?

Yes. Mughlai Chicken Changezi is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most north indian chicken dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Mughlai Chicken Changezi?

Classic pairings include naan, rumali-roti. For a complete north indian thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
