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 bite size. There is no oil added for this recipe. The fat from the mutton would suffice.
We have used a 3 liter pressure cooker for today’s recipe. Take the pressure cooker and add in all the ingredients. Pressure cook for 15 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. Preferably use a non stick pan as its easy. You can use a stainless steel pan to roast but you have to add little oil from time to time to avoid the meat 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.
Serve with rice and rasam. It also goes perfectly well with coconut milk rice.
