I am sure you have one of these obscure things in the vast array of food that we consume, that just hits the spot with certain dishes. Mutton chukka is one of those dishes for me. Being a southie, it tastes heavenly with rice dishes like Sambar rice, Rasam rice & even Briyani. If you make it a little not-so-dry you can even have it paratha or rotis.

Ingredients:

Oil : 1/4 cup
Mutton : 1/2 kg (cut into small pieces)
Onion :Â 2 cups
Tomato : 1/2 cup
Chili Powder : 2 tbsp
Green chilies : 2 to 3

garlic : 3
Cumin seeds : 1/2 tsp
Fennel seeds : 1/2 tsp
Cloves: 3
Bay leaves : 2
Cinnamon : 1/4 “
Curry leaves : 8 to 10

Method Of Preparation:

Heat 2tsp of oil in a pan add cumin seeds and fennel seeds after it sputter add 1/4 cup of onions and 2 green chilies fry them till it becomes translucent.
After that remove from heat let it cool and grind them with ginger and garlic into a coarse paste.
Heat oil in a pressure cooker add the ground paste and fry them in medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes.
And add the mutton with turmeric powder, a glass of water and little salt.
Mix it all together and pressure cook the mutton for 4 whistle in medium heat. after that remove from heat and keep them aside.
