Star Rating WIDGET PACK

Last week I was thinking that my blog doesn't have the recipe of 'mangsher ghugni' and being a Bengali I felt very awkward. There is no Bengali in the world who doesn't know about this dish ... yes, 'mutton ghugni' is that much famous. On special occasions or guest's arrival in evening, 'mangsher ghugni' is a very common item we Bengalis make. It's a Indian version of 'chili'. We make the curry of yellow peas with minced mutton .... delicious ! I kept the recipe very simple and easy. Try this awesome dish in your kitchen and enjoy a lovely evening with your loved ones. This is one of such things, which I always love at the time of Durga Puja Dasami when I visit my relatives house for Pranam, some families avoid keema but some of them use it.
