The workmanship and refinement of Mughlai arrangements have gotten the extravagant of nourishment sweethearts all through hundreds of years.

For example the Chicken Changezi, a mainstream chicken delicacy well known in the Northern piece of the nation, is said to have its connection with the Mongolian ruler and intruder Ghenghis Khan. MasterChef India 2016 contender Chef Sadaf Hussain says, "History of Chicken Changezi is blended and no one truly knows the motivation behind why this dish is named so. It is accepted that this dish is named after the considerable thirteenth century Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan or as Indians might want to call him Changez Khan. He was exceptionally specific about his dish and the measure of flavors that was utilized. One of his cook tried different things with the chicken dish to suit his taste buds, which brought about intriguing the lord.

He adds," However, the other side of the story makes the conjecture pretty doubtful. It says that Genghis Khan or (Changez Khan) never happened to visit Delhi; he did come pretty close though, making it as far as the Indus, but never really to the walled city. This dish uses a lot of Indian spices which was alien to the Mongol army and hence there might not be a direct connection to the King." It is said that the Mongols kept threatening to invade Delhi, going even as far to sack Lahore, but the wise administration and politics of the Delhi sultanate kept them from ruining Delhi. This constant point of contact led many Mongol residents to take shelter in the suburb outside the city walls, which was known to be called 'Mughalpura', (somewhere near Paharganj today). Mughalpura may not have survived the tides of time, but their culinary practices stayed. Chicken Changezi is often dubbed as a brainchild of those marvellous cooking techniques. Interestingly, 'Changezi' is a popular surname across Pakistan and Afghanistan; people with this family name claim descent from the Mongolian ruler Changez Khan.
The subtle gravy made with a handful of Indian spices stood its own among the host of spicy Mughlai gravies that followed. In the streets of Old Delhi, Chicken Changezi makes for one of the most popular Iftar dishes during Ramzan.
