Mutton Currykosha Mangsho

Mutton Curry, or Kosha Mangsho in Bengali, is a rich, flavourful, and aromatic dish that Indians love deep in their hearts. A slow-cooked, spicy mutton curry, a perfect blend of tender meat, bold spices, and a luscious gravy to soothe the soul and yet indulge the hungry senses. Thus, the term "Kosha" refers to its thick thickness achieved through slow cooking; the mutton is braised in a rich spice mix until the flavours of all the spices are absorbed and the meat becomes tender—steps to the preparation of mutton curry are as follows. The mutton needs to be browned in oil to gain depth to its flavour while being steamed later with onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes. Other spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric and garam masala, are added to create multifaceted flavours. Long cooking will allow the meat to be tender and finally doused with a solid mass of spices; meanwhile, the gravy thickens with a rich, velvety texture. What makes Kosha Mangsho different from other mutton curries is that it focuses much more on spices and the way of preparation. Unlike quicker curries in which the meat gets cooked in a thinner sauce, Kosha Mangsho has deep flavours that come out through extended cooking periods. The slow cooking ensures that every piece of mutton tastes juicy and full of flavours, while the thick gravy is ideal for sopping up with rice, paratha, or luchi (fried bread). Mutton curry or kosha mangsho is a dish prepared explicitly for special occasions and family meets.
