What it is
Tender pieces of mutton cooked in a rich, tangy gravy infused with Bengali pickling spices (nigella, fenugreek, mustard, and fennel seeds). This dish is robust in flavor and typically prepared with a generous amount of mustard oil.
Key ingredients
Mutton, mustard oil, yogurt, onions, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, whole Bengali pickling spices (panch phoron), turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no sugar is added to the gravy. Request minimal use of onions if carb count is a strict concern, though typical restaurant portions keep net carbs manageable. Confirm no potato or other high-carb vegetables are included.
If you order it anyway, say this (Bengali)
দয়া করে গ্রেভিতে চিনি দেবেন না। আলু বা অন্য কোনো উচ্চ-কার্ব সবজি যেন না থাকে। পেঁয়াজ কম দেবেন।
Please ensure no sugar is added to the gravy. Confirm no potatoes or high-carb vegetables are included. Minimal onions, please.
Watch out for
Excessive onions, hidden sugar in restaurant preparations (sometimes added to balance tanginess), use of high-carb thickeners (rare in authentic Bengali Achari but possible).
