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
