Serve the Kosha Mangsho hot with steamed rice, luchi (puffed bread), or parathas.
To save time, use a pressure cooker. After completing the sautéing step (Step 4), add water and pressure cook for 5-6 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally.
Reduce the mustard oil to 3 tablespoons and omit the final addition of ghee. Use lean, boneless cuts of mutton and trim any excess fat.
Replace mutton with 500g of raw jackfruit (enchor) or large button mushrooms to make a vegetarian version called 'Enchorer Kosha' or 'Mushroom Kosha'.
Reduce the amount of red chili powder by half and omit the green chilies to make a milder version for children. Ensure the mutton is cooked until it's very tender and falls off the bone.
