Kosha Chicken

Kosha Chicken

My Weekend is incomplete without homemade Chicken Kosha!! Always Favourite Dish… Sundays are special for every household. And while special days demand good food, Sundays for a Bengali would mean a Bengali chicken Kosha paired with hot rice, followed by an afternoon siesta. Bengali chicken Kosha is a chicken curry cooked by continuously braising the meat over a medium to high flame. The end result is thick, spicy, semi-solid gravy that comes bundled with a halved potato that has absorbed some of the delicious gravy. Chicken Kosha is an age-old Bengali way of cooking Chicken. Like Kosha Mangsho this one is also high on spice level and not for faint-hearted. The word Kosha (a Bengali word) means dryish or gravy which is quite dry in consistency. It is a popular dish; every Bengali family cooks it in their own way, so, the recipe may vary a little bit from home to home. I am sharing my version here. Hope you will enjoy cooking it and do not forget to share your experience with me. Chicken Marinated in a spicy marinade and cooked along with whole Indian spices and tossed in a caramelized onion gravy - Makes a delicious accompaniment with rice, dal and sabzi. It is recommended to cook this Chicken dish in an Iron Wok, cooking in an iron vessel helps to bring out the rich, dark colour of Chicken Kosha. This Chicken Curry needs to be cooked on the thicker side. I cook my Chicken Kosha without water. If you feel that the curry is drying up too much at the time of cooking, add ½ cup of hot water into this, and cook further until done.
