Mutton Chukka

Mutton chukka is my hubby’ favorite dish; how I learnt this recipe is a big story.

                                                                                                          I was in my mom house and one day Sandeep called me and told he is going to Nagercoil with his friend (hometown of friend) that evening Sandeep called me and started appreciating the mutton chukka that was prepared in his friend’s house. Then after returning to my place I asked many of my friends the recipe of mutton chukka but could not satisfy Sandeep; He said its okay but not good. Then I told him to give his friend's wife contact number then one day I called his friend ‘s wife whom I never met ,then I told her how Sandeep liked  mutton chukka prepared by her and took recipe from her; and tried recipe and it was success and Sandeep told this is how it tasted……….. So I was so happy so today I want to share this recipe with you all…………….
