#Diwalidelights - Diwali night calls for an elaborate non-veg menu in any Bengali household, including mine. So here is an equally popular and a traditional Mutton Gravy. This is my version of every Bengali's most favourite dish - 'Mangshor Jhol' or Mutton Curry. Adding potatoes is an integral part of this dish. I also added a whole garlic pod for some extra flavour.

This is a gravy based dish unlike Kosha Mangsho which is a dry preparation. It can be relished with plain steamed rice, pulao, plain Biryani, naan or roti. I prefer to add a dash of lime for a tangy taste.
