You are probobly thinking of the Nimatanama of the Sultan of Madu, the details of which have already been posted.  Another reliable source for Moghul food is are the recipie-like things in the 'Ain-i-Akbari which can be found here:

which provide us with a total of thirty dishes.  The main limitation is that we are told what the dish is called and what goes into it, but not how it is cooked.
There is also a further discussion of the fruits and other foods avalible, but it is basically a list with prices.
