Piri Piri Lamb Curry (Kolkata Kosha Mangsho)

Mutton or lamb curry is one of my family favorite dish. In Kolkata, most of the people enjoy this delicious homely and traditional ‘Kosha Mangsho’ when they are having a day off or celebrating any precious moment of life.Just like Sunday Roast in England. We are celebrating because we have succeeded in weight loss program. So why not put some more weight on…haha…To me ‘Kosha Mangsho’ means lots of good memories and enjoyment of having comfort food .I still can remember the delicious smell of ‘Kosha Mangsho’ every Sunday from my neighborhood and in my house. Bitter melon is the perfect companion to the lamb curry ,both are most of the Bengali’s favorite combination of food,cause when you bite the bitter melon it gives you a bitter taste to your tongue definitely,which refresh your test buds immediately.After that, you will be able to taste all the awesome flavor of spices in the lamb curry or any curry perfectly.Bitter melon is highly recommended to those who are suffering from diabetes.
