Yesterday was a fun day for us, we went to purchase some furniture for our home sweet home..And came home with a little dining table which can fit perfectly in our little kitchen and a super cute dressing table..I will post the pictures of that in my photo blog soon..Off you go to the recipe..
Can you believe that this is the first mutton recipe that I am cooking and posting in my blog. Yes I have never cooked mutton in my life before. I am not a big fan of mutton as well, but my better half loves it. I got so many request from my viewers asking me to post mutton recipes in my blog. So the time has arrived and guys from now on you will find lots of mutton recipes..
Mutton chukka is probably the most famous recipe around the world. It is one of the most yummiest dish as well…I thought of making that as my first trial and it was a total hit in my family..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?
Hubby loved it a lot and asked for more..That is a good sign right..I will be making more mutton recipes in the future, so stay tuned…

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
