What it is

Chukka means dry, and mutton chukka is the dry-fried mutton that Madurai's messes serve beside kal dosai and parotta: pieces cooked tender first, then fried with small onions, curry leaves and a dark masala until nothing is left in the pan but coated meat.

This is that masala, ready ground. The whole trick is patience at the end: keep frying until the gravy has gone and the masala sticks to the mutton. Choosing between Annapoorna mutton masalas? Madurai Chukka for a dry fry; Dindigul Mutton Kulambu for a gravy with rice; Chettinad Pepper Chicken if the meat is chicken.

Tip: Keep the stock from the cooker. A few spoons loosen the chukka if it catches, and the rest makes a quick rasam.

Goes well with: Heera Curry Leaves, Shan Ginger Garlic Paste, Heera Black Pepper Whole
