Mutton Sukka

Mutton Sukka

Ingredients:

400 gms boneless mutton, into medium sized pieces

2 onions finely chopped, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

3 tbsp oil, 15-20 curry leaves, 2 tsp mutton masala powder

1 tsp coriander powder,  ½ tsp turmeric powder,

1 tsp raw papaya paste (tenderizer), black pepper powder, salt & lemon to taste

Method:

Clean mutton pieces, apply ½ tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tsp raw papaya paste(tenderizer), and keep in the fridge for 8 hrs, to marinate.

Heat oil in a pan, and saute chopped onions till tender & translucent.

Add curry leaves, and ginger-garlic paste, and sauté for 3-4 mins on medium heat till onions turn brown.

Add the mutton pieces, and sauté on high heat for 5 mins. Mutton will release moisture. Cover and cook on medium heat for 5 mins or till the water dries out. 

Add masala powder and saute for 2 mins. 

Then add 2 cups of hot water to the pan, mix well, cover and cook on low heat for half an hour.

Add salt and pepper to taste, add half a cup of water, and cover and keep for 10 mins.

Remove cover, and sauté for 5-7 mins on medium heat till the water dries out completely and the mutton pieces are almost dry. Squeeze juice of one lemon, stir well, and serve hot.

These spicy and tender pieces of meat can be best enjoyed with chilled beer, or rasam rice, and even curd rice, and plain dal rice!
