In my schooldays, I eat only chicken and fish. But mom and dad likes mutton and they force me to eat. Though I am not very interested, I try it for their sake. After marriage, I started exploring more mutton recipes since Jany is very much fond of mutton. Though I make mutton dishes less frequent, I try different recipe each time. When I saw this mutton chukka recipe in Samayal Samayal, it was in my to-do list for a long time. Finally, I tried it a few weeks before coming to Paris. And it was a keeper recipe which turned out too good. I have already posted some mutton recipes and you can explore the other recipes in the links below.

Serve hot with any curry of your choice. This goes well with Fried rice. I served it with Chicken Rasam and Paruppu curry.
- The shallots and coconut oil are the star ingredient of this recipe. So don''t skip it.
- Since we have not added chilli powder, adjust your spice level with green chilli and pepper powder.
