Chicken Kosha With Whole Garlic And Potatoes

Chicken kosha.
Chicken or mutton kosha is a famous dish of Bengal. You can make this curry with mutton, eggs or any vegetables.
Kosha means bhuna or saute. You have to fry chicken with onion, garlic, tomato and spices on low flame till done. Need lots of patience but the result will be lip-smacking and flavourful.
Posting a non veg dish after a long time. Some of my blog reader requested for a spicy chicken. So here is a delicious mouthwatering dry chicken curry for you. Hope you will like it.

You can get some more chicken and mutton dishes here

1. Zafrani chicken

2. Chicken dak bungalow

3. Chicken chaap

4. Rara mutton

5. Railway mutton curry

If you want your chicken less spicy decrease the amount of chilli but if you want it hot increase green chilli or you can add 1 – 2 teaspoon hot variety red chilli powder in the curry.

I have added potatoes and whole garlic in it. But its optional. You can skip whole garlic if you want. And if you love the taste of garlic then I am sure you will love this curry with whole garlic. If you want you can also make it without potatoes.

    Looks delicious and loved the detailed recipe. This is one of your most iconic dishes, which is most loved by all too with extra potatoes on the side and a cup of steamed rice. Comfort food for bengalis.

    With such a rich spicy gravy I would definitely replace the chicken with eggs. Your recipes reminds me of my cousin who will patiently sit on a chair have a huge sigri with a pan on top and patiently make chicken. There is no hurrying him up as he claims that flavors get infused when cooked on slow heat.

      Your cousin is absolutely right Mayuri. Cooking on low flame enhance the taste and chicken or vegetables infused all the flavours of spices. Thank you so much. Glad you liked it ๐Ÿ˜Š
