I made this last sunday along with a herby chicken curry and a spicy chicken masala and served it over with steaming hot rice. How good is it.

Akka u r amazing ..... I made mutton chukka today .I'm not a lover of mutton and I never thought to have it I usually run away from mutton. But this recipe made me mouth watering while preparing . even my neighbor from the next door could smell and taste this recipe and she asked about it chukka . but the sad news is there is no remaining stuff in the kadai and the more bad news is I licked them all ... U r soooo into my heart now thank u akka
