ABOUT Mutton Rezala - Bengali Style RECIPE

The mention of Rezala immediately transfers you to Kolkata as this is a traditional and a very popular Bengali style fragrant Mutton curry cooked in a creamy yogurt based gravy. With a slight aroma coming from the rose water and the nutty flavour from the almond paste, this is surely a connoisseurs delight. It has a stew like consistency and is mildly spiced, But one thing is for sure - The taste is simply divine. Relish it with plain steamed rice, pulao, naan, parathas or any Indian flat bread. Country.....UAE.
