Recipe: Kosha Mangsho

October 23, 2023 12:41 IST

A Bengali-style mutton curry, Kosha Mangsho gets its distinctive flavour from pungent garam masala spices, yoghurt and the mustard oil it is cooked in.

Slow-cooked, this delicious preparation by Joseph Manavalan holds a special place in every Bengali's heart. It's made during Durga Puja and for other special occasions and can be served with luchis.

Prepare it in an iron kadhai or wok to get that special darkish colour.

Bengaluru-based Licious co-founder Manavalan, whose LinkedIn profile is sub-titled with the online meat provider's motto, 'Born to meat', began his career 37 years ago at Kolkata's Oberoi Grand.

Both a chef and an MBA, needless to say he loves to cook. He probably learned this recipe during his Cal days at this iconic hotel on main thoroughfare Chowringhee.
