It was Mehebub who told me to cook Posto Magsho last Sunday. I try to not to cook Posto Mangsho unless there is a request! I though am a Ghoti (Both my parents are from Hooghly) however, I never liked Posto much! They say at my house, I eat like Thakuma and I cook like…
Mangshor Jhol (Bengali light Mutton curry)
Why do I need a recipe separately for Mangshor Jhol when I already have Kochi Pathar Jhol on my blog? Well, why not when Kochi Pathar Jhol is all about the lean meat chunks from a smaller goat and that makes Mangshor Jhol different from the Kochi Pathar jhol! I do not imagine my portion of…
