Introduction:
Mejbani beef roast also known as Mezbani Mangsho, is a rich and flavorful dish that is a staple of Chittagong cuisine in Bangladesh. It is traditionally served during Mejbani feasts, which are large social gatherings held to celebrate special occasions.
The dish is made with tender pieces of beef that are marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and then slow-cooked until they are incredibly tender and infused with flavor. The gravy is thick and rich, with a deep red color from the use of chili powder and other spices.
