Debjani's Note
My little one's eyes lit up like stars when I announced that we were having Aam Kasundi Murgi for Sunday Lunch. No doubt, it has become her favorite dish in no time! Preparing this Bengali-style chicken in mango mustard sauce is so easy and quick; all you need is a bit of marination time. With the big fat batch of homemade Aam Kasundi at home waiting to be used, this dish was a must-cook item on our monthly menu list last month. And it has been a hit ever since!
Mustard and Its Use in Bengali Cooking
Mustard has been a part of the traditional Bengali cuisine for generations, and it is used as both oil and paste. From Macher Jhal to Borir Jhal, it is an essential ingredient in many of our beloved dishes. Though I have yet to try it with chicken or mutton, its unmistakable flavor remains an integral part of our culinary heritage.
I had never tasted meat cooked with mustard until one day when I decided to take a chance and give it a try. To my surprise, the flavor that hit my taste buds was unlike anything I had ever tried before! The zesty tang of the mustard combined with the succulent flavor of the meat made for an unforgettable culinary experience. From then on, this dish has been a part of my regular meals and is sure to leave anyone who tries it wanting more.
One Ingredient you cannot miss
Pasta, so far, has never had the Aam Kasundi Murgi outside the home. She, in fact, had it for the first time this year. It was after I made some Aam Kasundi at home this year. I found she was in love with the Aam Kasundi, aka the Bengali Mango Mustard Sauce, a seasonal delicacy. You may read here the recipe of Aam Kasundi and Pasta's reaction (& action) with the same. However, upon seeing her enjoying the Aam Kasundi, I decided to cook the Aam Kasundi Murgi at home.
Prep work
The preparation of this dish starts with the making of the Aam Kasundi sauce. The green mangoes are crushed and mixed with mustard, garlic, chili, and other spices, and then left to marinate for a few hours. This allows the flavors to blend together and deepen.
Once the sauce is ready, the chicken pieces are cooked with the sauce and then left to simmer over a low flame. The result is a delicious and fragrant chicken curry. The flavors of the mustard and mango blend together beautifully, with the chicken taking on a unique flavor and texture.
Aam Kasundi Murgi is sure to be a hit with everyone and is sure to become a family favorite. Serve it with steamed rice, and enjoy the delicious taste of traditional Bengali cuisine.
Aam Kasundi Murgi is a Bengali-style Chicken curry prepared with Green Mango Mustard Sauce. A tangy, mustard, and mango-based chicken preparation, this goes really well with steamed rice.
