Niramish Mangsho-mutton curry for Bengali Kali puja 

Niramish mangsho is a mutton dish that used to be cooked with sacrificial goat meat. Because this dish is offered to the Goddess Kali, it is cooked without any onion and garlic. This omission of onion and garlic is apparently enough to earn this dish the 'niramish', that is, vegetarian, tag in the eyes of Bengalis.
Niramish mangsho is in spirit similar to the Kashmiri rogan josh, which too uses only ground spices and no onion or garlic. Since this was traditionally cooked with the meat of goats that were sacrificed to Kali, it is best to use the meat of a small goat for this recipe. The larger, grain-fed, fattier 'rewaji' mutton is best reserved for dishes with onion and garlic.
Since this is a special dish for Kali Pujo, we have chosen to grind the spices from scratch. It can, however, be also made using readymade powdered spices.
The Bengali word 'niramish' is interesting because, unlike the English coinage 'non-vegetarian', niramish literally means 'non-meat'-ni (not) + amish (flesh). This makes 'amish' (or flesh) the default word, with the term for 'vegetarian' derived by pre-fixing 'not' to it.
