Have you ever tried kancha aam diye mangsho? If not, then I suggest you buy a couple of green mangoes and mutton and make it today. It’s summer after all and this recipe of aam mangsho is not too rich and is so flavourful that you would like to make it repeatedly

A very good friend of ours, Priyadarshini Chatterjee used to have a blog years ago with all her experimental recipes. Long back, when we started blogging, I had once cooked her kancha aam diye mangshor recipe and it was a super hit at home. After a couple of years, when I went back to look for the recipe, Priyadarshini informed me that she had lost her blog and all the recipes too.

Well, I roughly remembered the spices she used and then I made my own version of aam diye mangsho. It is a must-have for us in summer. It works very well for dinner parties and the best part is that you can serve this with roti, paratha, luchi or rice. Goes well with anything.

How to make kancha aam diye mangsho?

You will need goat meat for this. There are very few spices used, so good fatty goat meat works well with this recipe. At first, you have to dry roast half a tsp of cumin seeds with 6-7 fenugreek seeds. Then using a mortar and pestle, crush the roasted spices. Marinate the mutton pieces with ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder and mustard oil overnight or for a couple of hours. I prefer cooking mutton in a pressure cooker unless it is a recipe that demands slow cooking. The pressure cooker is a lifesaver. Heat mustard oil in a pressure cooker and break a couple of dry red chillies into the hot oil.

After that, add the mutton and fry the mutton over high heat to render the fat. Once the mutton has browned, add slices of mangoes, sliced onions, salt, sugar and the roasted spice powder. Sprinkle a little bit of water and keep stirring and frying the spices. Then you have to add a cup and half of hot water, give it a boil, and cover and cook the mutton. Once done, adjust the salt and sugar, you can add a few green chillies if you want to. That’s it- a very simple recipe. To give it an added spunk, you can drizzle a tsp of mustard oil in the end.
