A true gem from Bengali cuisine, Kosha Murgir Mangsho is a slow-cooked chicken dish rich in bold, earthy spices. The deep caramelization of onions, along with the mustard oil and garam masala, give it an unmistakable flavor. This dish is often enjoyed during special occasions, reminding me of Kolkata’s vibrant celebrations where slow-cooked curries like this were at the heart of every meal.
