Hyderabadi Dum Ka Murgh Recipe, Lagan Ka Murgh

 Dum Ka Murgh recipe or Hyderabadi Lagan Ka Murgh is a famous Hyderabadi nawabi dish prepared in every Hyderabadi kitchen. This dish is prepared with different nutty ingredients which are blended into a paste and dum cooked.

                      Dum cooking is very slow cooking with the lid covered and not letting any steam go out. This is a very traditional Hyderabadi dish. It has all the creamy flavors of the yogurt and nuts that are added into it. Dum Ka Murgh recipe is usually prepared in a lagan and so called as 'Lagan ka Murgh'.

                      Lagan is a cooking vessel with the bottom wide and slightly curved which is available mostly in Hyderabad, but it can also be cooked in any other cooking utensil which is available handy at home.

                                      It can be made during several occasions and can be served with rotis or rice. Dum Ka Murgh recipe should be tried as it is very nutritious and has got many aromatic flavors into it.

Another special chicken curry which I usually try is andhra style chicken curry which is too good to resist in making. The recipe is quite simple to be eaten with any rice delicacy...

                                   Whenever there are small gatherings I try to make many Hyderabadi delicacies and biryani recipes such as chicken dum biryani along with dum ka murgh and rotis and I usually make Bagara Baingan Hyderabadi and I also make sweets such as Double ka Meetha and mixed fruit dessert as these desserts taste yum and they are one of my favorites.

                      Also read different versions of Hyderabadi Chicken curries or kormas such as  Traditional Hyderabadi Korma Curry , Mughlai Chicken , Chicken Bhuna  etc.

                             There are few Hyderabadi recipes which are very simple but I tend to make them frequently and that is dalcha recipe as I like the flavor of these dals and what I love the most is the side dishes to it which are shami kabab or mutton patties and mutton fry .

                The dish can be served with mainly roti or paratha or bagaara rice. Lets get into the details of cooking the nawabi Dum Ka Murgh recipe or Lagan Ka Murgh.
