Spicy Mutton Chukka
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.

It’s really nice…. Yummy Dish. I tried this recipe and came out well. Thanks.
I am Chinese but I have loved all types of curries since very young.
Retired now and my main criteria for judging a food blog is based on the comments from people who have really cooked according to the recipe (like altair pearl, swapna,Ponmalar and Uma) and heap praises on the results.
We really cannot judge how tasty a dish is just by looking at the photos. I love Indian food and can eat curries every day without any problems. Love your site.
Bless you for your generosity in sharing recipes with total strangers.
very very yummy…tried this several times…!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot
Im Black and my husband is Indian, we’ve been married going on 12 years now, and I have to constanlity look on the internet to find food to cook for him, I also eat his food with mine. Our son loves american food and very rarely eats indian foods. (too hot & spicy). This right here look so yummy, im going to make it today for my husband, I think he will love it, as usually. Thanks for the recipe.
cooking this recipe in your instruction it says 4 whisttle during pressure cooking what does 4 whisttle means and how you gonna do that
Hi Jun, If you are using a pressure cooker with no weight valve, Just make sure you cook it for 15-20 minutes or until the mutton gets fully cooked. Whistles are a measure of timing in some pressure cookers with weight valve.
i tried this recipe today ,it was awesome like my mom used to prepare .thanks.
Shriya, i’m maria, a malay from malaysia. I was wondering, how to cook this recipe if i don’t have a pressure cooker?
Hi maria, If you don’t have a pressure no problem cooker just cook the mutton covered with a tight lid for about 20- 30 minutes in medium flame or until the mutton becomes soft and fully cooked. Stir the mixture every other 5 minutes.
Hi shriya, i’m maria, a malay from malaysia. Problem is, i don’t have a pressure cooker. Kindly help? Tq
