Mangshor Jhol (Bengali style Mutton Curry)

#non-vegcurries - This is my version of every Bengali's most favourite dish - Mangshor Jhol or Mutton Curry. Adding potatoes is an integral part of this curry. In most Bengali bones, no Sunday lunch is complete without this delicious and authentic dish. This is a gravy based recipe and it is much relished with plain steamed rice.
