ABOUT My Mom Special Pathars Mangshor Jhol( Bengali Mutton Curry) RECIPE

When I was small, our sunday afternoon lunch was spent enjoying my mom's preparation of special authentic Bengali cuisine Pathar's Mangshor Jhol. Pathar means goat , Mangshor is mutton and Jhol is curry. Pathar Mangsho Jhol is a famous Bengali mutton curry popular for its rich taste and spiciness. My mom used onion tomatoes to prepare the curry. Many use lots of yogurt instead of the tomatoes to prepare the mutton stock. I prepare my mom's style which I will be sharing with you.
