Moglai Murg (Mugul Style Chicken)

awalde's Note:

This chicken recipe requires a lot of ingredients for the preparation, but as result you will have a tender and tasty dish. Saffron gives to the rich, aromatic and smooth sauce a special touch. You can serve this with rice, but the best choice is fresh naans (Indian bread).
