Bengali Mutton Kosha
Bengali Mutton Kosha is a delicious and popular traditional dish from the Bengal region of India. It's a slow-cooked mutton (goat meat) curry that is rich in flavors and spices. The meat is typically marinated in a blend of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Then, it is slow-cooked with onions, tomatoes, and a special combination of spices until the meat becomes tender and succulent. The result is a wonderfully flavorful and aromatic curry that pairs perfectly with steamed rice or Indian bread.
