Chicken Kosha is a popular dish of West Bengal. The people living in West Bengal (region in eastern part of India) are known as Bengalis. Chicken kosher is widely made when guests come over, during festival times or at wedding parties. It is curry with less gravy that is slow cooked along with spices and the chicken gets cooked in its own juices. Chicken kosha is often served with poori (also known as luchi in Bengali)/Basanti Pulao (Bengali sweet yellow pulao) or paratha.
Ingredients required for making chicken kosha -
Serves 5 to 6
* 1330 gm/ 3 lb skinless chicken with bones. I try keeping some fat on the chicken as that gives flavor to this dish.
* 27 gm/1 oz fresh ginger
* 30 gm/ 1 oz garlic
* 2 green chillies (optional)
* 400 gm/ 14 oz red/2 large onions (or any onion of your choice) chopped finely
* 290 gm/ 10 oz/ 2 large red ripe tomatoes
* 1 bay leaf
* 4 to 5 green cardamoms
* 4 cloves
* 2 inch long cinnamon stick
* 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
* 2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder or a combination of paprika and cayenne pepper or only paprika if you want to avoid the heat totally.
* 2 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon garam masala powder. I always use my homemade garam masala powder for this recipe. Here is the link to the video if you want to use it - • SHAHI GARAM MASALA | H...
* coriander leaves (cilantro) for garnish (totally optional)
For marination -
* 1/4 th teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
* 2 heaped tablespoons plain unflavored yogurt (regular or Greek)
* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
* 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder red chilli powder. Can use paprika if you want to avoid the heat
* 3 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste from the paste prepared
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice/1 tablespoon white vinegar
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 1 teaspoon salt
Serve this with any Bengali yellow Basanti pulao/Bengali vegetable pulao/poori/paratha.

It’s hard to mention garlic in inches but I will surely keep that in mind for ginger. Thanks for the suggestion

HI Bumbi, thank you for this channel the recipes look great, this one says its slow cooked, roughly how long would this take to give me an idea how far ahead I need to start preparation.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

It takes an hour to cook.

[@adelaluraheemah819]

I love Ur cooking from Nigeria. Is it a must to use yoghurt and what type of yoghurt

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can leave out the yogurt but it helps to make the meat tender. I used plain unflavored yogurt.

[@joskoeleman950]

I will certainly try that. Can I use lime juice instead of lemon?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Sure you can but use just 2 teaspoons

[@FAITH-be6sx]

[@andrewelliott1939]

Can you tell us why you heat the oil to smoking point but then allow it to cool. Thank you.

[@jlife9092]

'Cooked oil' has a different more mellow but robust after taste. We do the same in Chinese cooking and flaky pastry making too.

[@andrewelliott1939]

@@jlife9092 Thank you. Very interesting. 🙏

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You need to bring it to smoking hot only when cooking with mustard oil. Mustard oil is very pungent and smoking it removes that pungency.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Just leave out the whole spices and increase the garam masala powder by just half a teaspoon more.

Oh no, I did forget to mention but I’ve put the proportions in the description box. Sorry about that.

[@brandon_wallace]

Bumbi, if you ever see oil coming out of the bottom of your blender it means the ball bearings have gone bad. The ball bearings can be replaced. Buying new ball bearings is cheaper than buying a new blender.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for that information Brandon.

[@union310]

It is the seal in the bearing housing that has failed and let the grease out.

@@ex.hindu.now.atheist it happened to me twice.

[@ex.hindu.now.atheist]

@@brandon_wallace "it happened to me twice." ====================== OK... so you were giving a suggestion in general. That's fair enough.

[@lgracie33]

Bumbi, would it spoil the dish if I added some coconut cream? Only because I like a bit more sauce than my husband 😊

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

For more sauce you can add more water and if you like the flavor of coconut then adding coconut milk won’t spoil the dish but will bring in a creaminess.
