மட்டன் சுக்கா – Delicious Mutton Sukka

Delicious Mutton Sukka is a spicy tasty dry curry made by cooking ‘evenly cut’ small chops of mutton with tempered onions, spices and masala powders. Mutton Chukka pairs up well with biryani, rice or even pulao varieties. I sometime use this on top of dosa for Kari Dosa as well. If you are more interested in semi-gravy type, try this recipe.
