ABOUT Mangshor Jhol (Bengali Style Mutton Curry) RECIPE

In most Bengali homes no Sunday lunch is complete without this delicious and authentic dish. This is every Bengalis most favourite dish - 'Mangshor Jhol' or Mutton Curry. Adding potatoes is an integral part of this dish. It can be relished with plain steamed rice, pulao, plain Biryani, naan or roti. I prefer to add a dash of lime for a tangy taste. Country......UAE.
