Bengali Lamb Curry

Also known as kosha mangsho, this is the quintessential Bengali meat curry. Mustard oil balanced with cooling yoghurt gives this curry a flavour like no other. Enjoy it with rice, luchis or rotis. I used some leftover egg roll dough to make myself a paratha to dip into it.

    I recommend marinading overnight if you can - makes the meat much more tender :-)

    Hi, can you explain why you recommend ginger and garlic paste rather than just ginger and garlic? I would like to understand what are the benefits. Thank you in advance.

    Hi marta. You don’t need to use an actual paste. fine grated garlic and ginger with microplane is what he meant
