Chicken Kosha Recipe | Bengali Style Chicken Curry Recipe | Kosha Mangsho Chicken Recipe with Video Recipe. Chicken Kosha, also known as Kosha Mangsho, is a popular and flavorful Indian dish hailing from the state of West Bengal. It is a slow-cooked, dry-style preparation of chicken. 

Chicken Kosha is prepared by marinating pieces of chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder and mustard oil. The marination helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with the vibrant flavors of the spices. After marinating, the chicken is slow-cooked in a pot with a mixture of caramelized onions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes.

This slow-cooking process allows the flavors to blend together. The use of mustard oil, a staple in Bengali cuisine, adds a distinct flavor to the dish. Additionally, the dish often incorporates whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves, which contribute to its aromatic complexity. The slow-cooking process also allows the chicken to absorb the flavors of these spices, making each bite a delightful and satisfying experience.

Chicken Kosha is typically served with steamed rice or traditional Bengali breads like Luchi or Paratha. The dish is enjoyed during special occasions, festivals, and gatherings, as it showcases the blend of flavors that characterizes Bengali cuisine. Its rich and indulgent taste makes it a favorite among those who appreciate robust and well-spiced dishes. Try this recipe and let me know your feedback.
