Description

Mutton Chukka (also known as Mutton Sukka or Mutton Varuval) is a traditional South Indian dry-fry made with tender mutton pieces slow-cooked in a blend of bold spices, shallots, black pepper, and curry leaves. Once the meat is cooked until soft, it’s roasted in the same masala until it becomes dry, aromatic, and slightly crisp — giving it a rich and rustic texture.

A specialty in Tamil Nadu and Chettinad cuisine, Mutton Chukka is known for its deep flavors from whole spices, fresh ground masala, and the slow-cooking process that allows every piece of meat to absorb the flavors fully.

It’s typically enjoyed as a side with rice, rasam, or parotta, and also pairs well with drinks as a spicy meat starter. Packed with intense spice and aroma, this dish is a meat lover’s dream!
