Chicken kassa recipe is very popular in the Eastern states of India. Especially in Odisha and West Bengal. It is also called Murgir kosha mangsho in Bengal. It is a semi-dry chicken dish. Wherein, the chicken is cooked in a spicy thick gravy. It goes great as a side dish with piping hot rice, roti, paratha, or naan.

Chicken kassa

Chicken kassa is also found on restaurants' menus. The vegetarian versions like aloo kassa, gobi kassa are also loved by many.

The word 'Kassa', 'Kasha' or 'Kosha' is essentially a cooking method of slowly roasting the masala base until the masala is cooked and oil separated. 

This recipe of chicken kasha can vary from place to place. The recipe I am sharing is a simple one. It needs no marination, no coconut, cashews, yogurt, or cream. 

It's a semi dry dish. The chicken is roasted in the masala and slowly cooked in its own juice over low flame until tender. 

Make this easy chicken kassa and serve it along with rice, dal, and kachumber salad for a quick lunch or weeknight dinner.
