  5. Make a paste of the Onions.
  6. Mix both Ginger and Garlic paste with it.
  7. Heat 3 Tbsp. Oil in a deep bottom pan. I have used heavy Kadai.
  8. Temper the Oil with Bay leaf and Dry Red Chilis.
  9. Now add Onion paste and cook till the raw aroma goes and the onion turned deep pink in color.
  10. Add Ginger and Garlic Paste and cook till oil leaves the side of the mixture.

  17. It will take around one hour to cook the meat properly.
  18. Once done, add lemon juice and switch the flame off.
  19. Serve Posto Mangsho with steamed rice.

Notes

  • Both Turmeric Powder and Red chili powder are optional if you want the whitish color of the curry. I prefer to add both to give a little color to my Posto Mangsho.
  • Instead of a pan, for fast cooking, you may use a pressure cooker. If using a cooker, you need to cook until 3-4 whistles come out of the cooker on low flame.
  • Adjust salt as per taste.
  • Adjust the gravy as per taste and preference. I prefer it to be not much runny.
