Malai Chicken is a luxuriously creamy, mild chicken dish where tender pieces are marinated in a rich blend of cream, cashew paste, and gentle spices, then cooked to velvety perfection. The word malai means cream in Hindi, and this dish lives up to its name with every silky bite. It is elegant enough for a dinner party yet simple enough for a weeknight treat.
