Mutton curry (also referred to as kosha mangsho,[1] lamb curry,[2] or goat curry,[3][4] Indonesian: kari kambing or gulai kambing) is an Indian curry dish that is prepared from mutton (or sometimes goat meat) and vegetables.[5] Although very popular in northern India, mainly in Bengal region, the dish is found in different variations across all states, countries and regions of South Asia. It originated from Eastern India, inspired from its counterparts as Fish and Crab curry from Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Railway mutton curry is a variation of the dish that originated during the British India.

Mutton curry was originally prepared heated by a fire[6] in a large pot. It may now be cooked using pressure cookers and slow cookers.[6] Mutton curry may be served with rice or with Indian breads, such as naan or parotta.[7] The dish has been served with raji, a cereal.[8]

Ingredients

Common ingredients used to prepare mutton curry include: mutton or goat meat, salt, turmeric powder, mustard oil, ginger garlic paste, dahi (yogurt), assortment of spices, onion, Chilli, tomato, and Coriander leaves.[9]

Variations

Kashmir

Mutton is a central part of Kashmiri cuisine. Both Hindus and Muslims prepare the same dishes but with different spices. While Kashmiri Muslims use onion and garlic in their dishes, the Kashmiri Hindus use hing and ginger powder instead of onion and garlic to increase the flavour of their dishes. Most of the mutton dishes are part of Wazwan, a meal of 36 courses which is served during weddings. Some of the important dishes include:

  • Rista (meatballs in a fiery red gravy)
  • Lahabi kabab or Moachi kabab (flattened mutton kababs cooked in yogurt)
  • Daeni phoul (mutton dish)
  • Doudha ras (mutton cooked in sweet milk gravy)
  • Rogan josh (tender lamb cooked with Kashmiri spices)
  • Tabak maaz (ribs of lamb simmered in yogurt till tender, then fried)
  • Daniwal korma (a mutton curry with coriander)
  • Waza palak (green spinach cooked with small mutton balls known as paliki riste)
  • Aab gosh (lamb cooked in milk curry)
  • Marchwangan korma (an extremely spicy lamb dish)
  • Kabab (minced meat roasted on skewers over hot coals)
  • Gushtaba (a velvety textured meatball in white yogurt gravy)

Odisha

In Odisha mutton curry is always made of khasi goat meat (meat of young castrated male goat). There are many varieties of goat meat curries that are prepared in Odisha. Some of the popular curries are:[10]

  • Mutton Kawsa (Odia: ମାଂସ କସା mangsaw kawsa)
  • Mutton Curry (Odia: ମାଂସ ତରକାରୀ mangsaw tarkari)
  • Mutton Roasted in Bamboo or Bamboo Mutton (Odia: ବାଉଁଶ ପୋଡା ମାଂସ baunsaw poda mangsaw)
  • Mutton Roasted in Leaf (Odia: ପତ୍ର ପୋଡା ମାଂସ patra poda mangsaw)
  • Mutton in Clay Pot (Odia: ମାଟି ହାଣ୍ଡି ମାଂସ mati handi mangsaw)
  • Mutton Besaraw (Odia: ମାଂସ ବେସର mangsaw besaraw)

While mutton curry is usually eaten with rice, in Western Odisha Mangsaw Kawsa is particularly relished with mudhi (puffed rice). Mangsaw Kawsa is said to be the predecessor of the popular Bengali goat curry dish known as Kosha Mangsho most probably introduced by the Odia cooks who moved to West Bengal during the British rule to work in the kitchens of Bengali families.[11]

Kosha mangsho is the Bengali version of mutton curry. It traditionally has less juice and more gravy than mutton curries eaten in other parts of India.[13] This dish is prepared in a kosha style, which involves retaining the mutton's flavor and moisture using slow cooking and sautéeing methods.[14]

Kosha mangsho is traditionally prepared as part of the celebration of Kali Puja,[15] a festival dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, celebrated on the New Moon day of the Hindu month Kartik.

Railway mutton curry is a British Raj colonial-era dish that was served on long distance trains.[16][17][18] The dish was served with dinner rolls.[16] Tamarind was originally used to extend its shelf life.[16] Some restaurants serve the dish in present-day times, such as Oh! Calcutta! restaurant in Kolkata, India.[19][20] Railway mutton curry is prepared using a coconut milk base.[20]

Counterfeit variations

In 2012, in The Midlands, England, trading standards officers working undercover went to twenty restaurants that were randomly chosen and bought 39 lamb curry and kebab dishes.[21] Four of the dishes contained no lamb, instead using a mixture that contained beef, pork or chicken.[21] In the investigation, it was found that only three lamb curries out of the nineteen tested contained only lamb. Most were found to consist of a mixture of lamb with beef or chicken.[21] Additionally, all of the twenty lamb kebabs that were sampled contained meats in addition to lamb that was mixed with it, such as beef, pork or chicken.[21]
