Perform the 'Kassa' (Slow Sauté)
Simmer and Finish
Increase the amount of red chili powder and add a few more slit green chilies along with the mutton to infuse more heat into the meat.
This recipe can be made with bone-in chicken pieces. Reduce the 'kassa' time to 20-25 minutes and the final simmering time accordingly, as chicken cooks much faster.
Simply omit the potatoes for a pure 'Mutton Kassa' or 'Kosha Mangsho'. The gravy will be richer and more concentrated on the mutton flavor.
After completing Step 4 (the 'kassa'), transfer everything to a pressure cooker. Add the potatoes and hot water, and cook for 5-6 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally.
Mutton is a high-quality protein source, crucial for building and repairing tissues, muscle development, and supporting overall body functions.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron from the mutton, which is easily absorbed by the body and helps in preventing iron-deficiency anemia and boosting energy levels.
Mutton is also a good source of essential minerals like zinc, which supports the immune system, and phosphorus, which is vital for bone health.
'Kassa' (or 'Kosha' in Bengali) is a slow-cooking technique. It involves sautéing the meat and spices over a low flame for an extended period, allowing the meat to cook in its own juices and the spices to release their full flavor, resulting in a thick, rich, and intensely flavorful gravy.
Aloo Mutton Kassa is a rich and indulgent dish. While mutton is a great source of protein and iron, the dish is high in calories and fat due to the use of oil and the nature of red meat. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, perhaps on special occasions.
One serving of Aloo Mutton Kassa contains approximately 850-900 calories. The exact number can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil used.
Yes, you can use boneless mutton. However, bone-in mutton is highly recommended as the bones add a significant amount of flavor and richness to the gravy. If using boneless, you may need to slightly reduce the cooking time.
This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed basmati rice, Bengali Luchi (puffy fried bread), parathas, or pulao. A simple side salad of sliced onions and lemon wedges also complements the rich curry.
