Key Questions Answered
To achieve the signature black color and tender texture of Golbari's kosha mangsho, you need to add tea liquor at the very end of cooking once the mutton is tender, and finally mix in a spoonful of ghee or butter.
For Golbari's kosha mangsho, 500 grams of mutton should be marinated with 2 tablespoons of raw papaya juice, 1 tablespoon each of ginger, garlic, and chili paste, and mustard oil, ideally letting it rest for several hours or overnight.
First, fry chopped onions in mustard oil to make beresta, cool them, and grind them into a paste. Dry roast all spice ingredients in a pan, grind them in a mixer, and separately crush cinnamon, small cardamom, and bay leaves on a grinding stone or mortar.
