Mangshor Jhol (Bengali style Mutton Curry)

Marinate the mutton with the ginger-garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder, coriander-cumin powder, red chilli powder and the garam masala powder for 2-3 hours.

Heat the oil in a pan and temper with the bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves and sugar. Saute for a few seconds and then add the onions. Fry till light brown.

Now add the tomatoes and fry well till it is mashed up. Then add the marinated mutton and continue to saute on low flame till the oil starts to leave the sides of the pan.

Add 2 cups water and the potatoes and pressure cook for 20 minutes on low flame after the first whistle. When done, add ghee and mix well. Serve, garnished with coriander leaves.
