Chicken kosha
Chicken kosha is a popular dish from the Bengali cuisine. It's a rich and flavorful chicken curry where the chicken is slow-cooked with a blend of aromatic spices, onions, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic. The word "kosha" refers to the slow-cooking process, which helps infuse the flavors into the chicken and gives it a delicious taste. The end result is tender, juicy chicken in a thick, spicy gravy. It's often enjoyed with rice or traditional Indian breads like roti or naan.
