Kosha Mangsho/ Bengali Dry Fried Mutton

Notes: 

Salt, onion paste and covered cooking will result in enough moisture to cook the meat. However if still halfway through the cooking you notice that mutton is sticking to the bottom of the pan, you can add in a couple of finely chopped tomatoes or keep on very lightly sprinkling with water.
You can also add a tsp each of coriander and cumin seed powder to the marinade if you want.
Traditionally neither water nor tomatoes are added in Kosha Mangsho. My MIL also makes a quicker version of this by adding both and cooking in a pressure cooker. I could kill for that as well!!!
