Kosha Mangsho

A very popular dish is Bengal which is full of flavors. I tried it for the first time when I visited a Bengali friends place and was totally in love with it. Its a spicy mutton curry traditionally made by slow cooking mutton in iron cast wok which gives it that amazing blackish- brown color. I did not have the iron cast wok so I did it in a normal wok and pressure cooked the mutton to save time. This is my version of the mutton curry. Do try it out and let me know how it turns out :) Ingredients  For Marination  1/2 kg Mutton  2 Tbsp Curd  1 Tsp Turmeric Powder 1-1/2 Tsp Chili Powder 1 Tbsp Ginger-garlic Paste  Salt to taste For the curry 2-3 Tbsp of Clarified butter/ Oil (You can use mustard oil if available) 2 Red Chilies  4-5 Peppercorns  4 Cloves  1 inch Cinnamon  2 Big Onions (sliced) 1/2 Tsp Sugar 1 Tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste  1 Potato (Cut into 4 big chunks) 1 Tsp of Red Chilli powder 1/2 Tsp Turmeric Powder Sal

Chicken Buttermilk Salad



This entire week I have planned either to make some Salads/ Soups for dinner. Last week I have had a lot of junk food when I was on a holiday to Prague, Vienna and Budapest

I wanted to cut down on my calorie intake and  had some buttermilk so, thought of using it as a salad dressing . 
Just went through some of the recipes online and by adding some twist to those made this beautiful salad which is healthy and fills your stomach

Ingredients 

For Buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp Curd 
  • 1/2 Cup Water 
  • pinch of salt
Marination

  • 2 Chicken Breast
  • Buttermilk 
  • 2 Tbsp Cheese 
  • 1/2 Tsp Pepper
  • 3 Garlic Cloves (chopped finely)
  • Salt

Veggies for the salad

  • 1 Cup Iceberg Lettuce 
  • 1/2 Cup Carrot (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 Cup escarole lettuce
  • 1/2 Cup Frisee lettuce
  • 1/2 Cup Cabbage
1/2 Tsp Butter 
Croutons 

**In case the above lettuce are not available you can add any other veggies of your choice

Method

  • Wash and cut slits in the chicken breast and  marinate it with salt and keep it aside 
  • Make the buttermilk by blending curd, water and a pinch of salt in a blender for about 2 minutes

  • Remove the buttermilk in a bowl, add cheese, pepper, garlic and mix it well and marinate the chicken breast in it for about 30 minutes 


  • Heat a nonstick pan, add butter and add the marinated chicken pieces on it and grill it they turn light brown in color and completely cooked. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Do not discard the remaining marinate as will use the same for salad dressing 

  • Once the chicken is cooked,cut the chicken breast into small chunks 
  • Take a mixing bowl, add all the listed ingredients under veggies and give it a nice mix 

  • Add the cooked chicken, pour the remaining marinade, salt and mix it well so the lettuce and carrots are completely coated with the dressing 
  • Serve cold with some croutons
