Pathar Bangla.. Countryside Mutton Gravy

Pathar Bangla..
The English meaning I would assume should be Countryside Goat..
This is a 100 years old local countryside recipe from West Bengal. This recipe is take from the book "Thakur Barir Ranna"...... The recipes printed here are from Rabindranath Tagore's kitchen...
The original recipe say to take ghee in a pan, then add Turmeric, Chillies, Ginger, Onion paste, lots of coriander paste and curd. Saute and stir cook the masala for some time. Add salt, sugar, and mutton. Stir it for some time more. Add water, add some onions cut into cubes. Cover and let it simmer for some time. Add the potatoes. Once the potatoes and mutton is cooked, sprinkle roasted cumin seeds powder... It should be a liquid gravy.
