KOSHA MANGSHO(MUTTON KOSHA)


happy2lifestyle



Mangsho actually means Mutton (Goat meat) and Kosha means Bhuna or gravy which is thoroughly fried in a low flame. Kosha Mangsho or Mutton kosha has a thick gravy and is a little spicy. It is an iconic dish for the Bengalees. It can be served with anything from plain steamed rice. pulao to Pulkas and Parathas. This is my version of Kosha Mangsho and I can assure you that it will taste very good .

  • Add the marinated mutton and add the remaining masala and curd and fry it, till the masala is well fried and starts leaving oil.
  • When masala is thoroughly cooked add 4 cups of hot water and add salt as required at this point and pressure cook on medium flame until it gives 3 whistles.
  • Open the pressure cooker to add the fried potatoes and give more 2 whistles(medium flame) or if u cook in Kadai cook till potatoes and nicely boiled.
  • since I have used a pressure cooker I am going to cook in high flame in a Kadai after adding garam masala powder for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Just before switching off the flame add a tablespoon of ghee and boil it for 2 seconds and yummy Kosha mangsho is ready to serve.
  • Kosha Mangsho goes well with luchi and also with steamed white rice.
