Kosha Mangsho

🇮🇳 Indian

Prep 25 min Cook 45 min Serves 4 Medium

  • Yogurt1/2 cup
  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the mutton in yogurt, spices and salt for at least 30 minutes — overnight if you plan like a grandmother.

  2. 2

    Brown the meat in hot fat so every piece picks up colour before any liquid enters.

  3. 3

    Fry the onions deep gold, add the aromatics and ground spices, and bhunao until the oil separates.

  4. 4

    Return the meat, add hot water to come halfway, and simmer covered until tender, 35-45 minutes.

  5. 5

    Uncover, reduce to the consistency the name promises, and rest before serving.

Chef's tip

The oil on the surface of the masala is your timer; don't rush past it.
