Mutton is cooked and enjoyed in varied ways all over the world.In India mutton recipes are a must for every festive seasons and special occasions at home. This mutton chukka recipe is from my native place Virudhunagar,very simple to make for it requires very few ingredients that doesn’t need to be ground .Many chukka recipes are prepared with lot of ingredients,masalas that makes it more of a gravy type than a vathakal(dry fry).
Unlike other cuisines ,Virudhunagar recipes doesn’t add curry leaves to non veg dishes.They also prefer homemade ground spices to enhance the flavor and taste of the food than rely on ready made kitchen masalas.Never buy the ginger garlic paste from the store nor make them in bulk at home and store in your refrigerator.Always grind or grate them freshly when needed.By following these simple things you could make delicious and healthy recipes in your own kitchen for your lovely family members.
