Recipe for mutton sukka, Tamilnadu style Mutton sukka Fry masala recipe. Easy pressure cooker method. With step by step pictures and video.
Mutton Sukka, Rasam and Saadham (White Rice) on a Sunday afternoon. Its the most comforting meal and so easy to put together. This is an extremely simple recipe and can be put together in no time. Its usually preferable to use mutton pieces with bone for this recipe. The flavor from the bone enhances the taste of the dish and also keeps the meat juicy. Clean the mutton well and try to get rid of the fat if any. These days, the butcher removes most of the fat unlike yesteryear’s. Keep the pieces in the mutton sukks bite size. There is no oil added for this recipe. The fat from the mutton would suffice.
Here is the video of how to do Mutton Sukka.
Note: The video recipe uses 2x the quantity of the recipe given below at the bottom of the page.

Three Liter Stainless Steel Cooker
Non Stick Pan with Lid
Bosch Mixie
Cleaver for cutting Mutton
Paring Knife
Cutting / Chopping Board
We have used a 3 liter pressure cooker for today’s recipe. Take the pressure cooker and add in all the ingredients listed for making mutton sukka. Pressure cook for 15-20 minutes on medium flame. I got 20 whistles. Remove from heat and wait for the pressure to release naturally. Make sure that the meat is cooked. Just press a piece of meat and it should fall of the bone easily. There would be a little gravy left in the pan.
Now its time for roasting the mutton sukka. Preferably use a non stick pan as its easy. You can use a stainless steel pan or a cast iron pan to roast but you have to add little oil from time to time to avoid the meat from getting stuck to the pan.
Take a pan and add in the mutton mixture along with the gravy to the pan. Keep sauteing till the mutton is dry on medium heat. It will take about 7-8 minutes.
Once the mutton is dry, add in the chopped curry leaves and fry till the mutton is nicely roasted and brown. It will take about a couple of minutes on medium flame for the sukka to go dry.
Serve with rice and rasam. It also goes perfectly well with coconut milk rice.

Hi, very easy and tasty recipe. As the shallot or certain size varies from country to country, request you to suggest the size in grams eg: shallots 250gms for X amount of Meat.
What an easy recipe! What a taste!! Thank you so much for this quick recipe! I barely remember standing near the stove. 😁
Thank You!
Does it work with chicken?
Hi Kannamma, doesn’t this recipe need some oil? Right in the beginning when sauteing the mixture before adding water?
Mutton has enough fat. You really dont need oil.
You can add if you feel like.
Loved this recipe ! I don’t eat mutton but my husband is a huge mutton lover and he is from coimbatore. i Made this recipe once and he loved it. Now almost all Sundays I am making this dish ! Thanks a lot Suguna !! 🥰🥰

Thanks Siva. Glad you liked the mutton sukka.
