Mutton Kosha is a dish popular in Bengalis during Durga Puja, Poilabaisakh, Kali Puja and many other occasions. All you need to prepare good mutton Kosha is patience. I have head many popular chefs saying that the texture of mutton degrades on pressure cooking, which I agree with to a certain extent. Therefore, I have not pressure cooked the mutton. However, if you are short of time, you can pressure cook the mutton. You can serve kosha mangsho with luchi, porotta or basanti pulao.

Cooking Instructions

70 mins
  1. 1

    Make a paste of roughly chopped onion, tomato, ginger and garlic.

  2. 2

    Marinade the mutton with papaya, yogurt, paste of onion garlic, green chilies, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, salt and one tablespoon of oil and leave it covered for at least 3 hours to overnight.

  3. 3

    Taka a kadai and add the remaining oil. Once the oil is hot, add bay leaves, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cardamom and cloves.

  4. 4

    As the spices turn aromat add the sliced onions.

  5. 5

    Sauté them till they turn translucent.

  6. 6

    Add the marinated mutton and mix it properly with the remaining elements in the kadai.

  7. 7

    Now, cook the mutton covered. You can also pressure cook it if you want.

  8. 8

    The mutton gets cooked in it's own juices. It took me one hour for the mutton to cook properly i.e. the mutton becomes tender and you see oil leaving the sides of the pan. Add water if necessary.

  9. 9

    Add about ½ cup of water and let it simmer till you achieve the “makha makha”/ semi-dry consistency.

  10. 10

    Serve the kosha mangso hot with porotta, luchi or basanti pulao.
