Bored of Chicken Curry? Try Bengal's Traditional Shoroshe Murgi!

  • Shoroshe Murgi, or Chicken in Curried Mustard Sauce, is a traditional Bengali recipe making a comeback.
  • The dish's unique identity comes from chicken cooked in a thick mustard paste and pure mustard oil, giving it a pungent and aromatic flavor.
  • Traditionally prepared in earthen pots (mitti ki haandi), this method enhances the mustard's depth and aroma.
  • It balances the sharp mustard with green chilies and coconut milk, offering a distinct taste from heavily spiced curries.
  • Easy to make with few ingredients, it's ready in about 30 minutes and is popular in rural Bengal's eateries.

Why It Matters: Shoroshe Murgi offers a unique, pungent, and aromatic Bengali chicken experience, easy to prepare and rich in tradition.
