Dahi Mutton/ Curd Mutton/ Doi Mangsho

In our Bengali culture 'kochi pathar jhol' is a famous mutton recipe, mutton kosha is also very famous. Just like these two recipes Dahi Mutton or Doi Mangsho is also a very popular and tasty item. 

Dahi Mutton

Dahi Mutton is usually made in various occasions such as marriage, birthday party etc. This preparation is very simple and produces a  thick and yummy dish which goes awesome with rumali roti, parantha, biriyani or any kind of rice. I tried my hands on making this, and succeeded. Here are the ingredients required for making Dahi Mutton/ Curd Mutton/ Doi Mangsho.
Kosha Doi Mangho
Ingredients: 1 kg mutton, 150 gm curd, 2 tbsp garlic paste, 1 tbsp chilli paste, 1 and a half tbsp ginger paste, 5 medium sized onion paste, salt, 1 tsp nutmeg and mace powder, 2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp poppy seed paste (posto bata), 1 tbsp cashew paste, 5 tbsp mustard oil, 2 tsp ghee, 10 gm whole garam masala, 1 bay leaf, 2 tbsp rose water, 2 tbsp kewra water.

Stage 1# Take the pieces of mutton one by one and press it with the front side of the fork. See the picture below for getting the clear idea.

Stage 2# Marinate the meat with curd, garlic paste, chilli paste, ginger paste, nutmeg and mace powder, onion paste, salt,  turmeric powder. Marinate it for at least for 4 hours.

Stage 3# Put a pan on the flame and add the ghee and mustard oil. After it turns hot add the garam masala and the bay leaf. After the garam masala starts cracking add the marinated meat and close the lid. Keep it on a low flame for 15 minutes. Then remove the lid and add the poppy and cashew paste. Mix it well together and close the lid, while keeping it on a low flame for 15 minutes more.

Remove the lid and see if it starts secreting oil, if it does then add the rose and kewra water in it and cook for 5 minutes more in a closed lid. Then turn off the heat.
