Another chettinad non veg delicacy.Who will not love a plate of mutton chukka and curd rice.Today afternoon my younger daughter was telling 'Amma I should thank only the readers of your blog for getting these mouth watering curries'.I very rarely buy mutton and even if I buy I will go for mutton with bones and make gravy like with that fearing the high fat content in that.Since I am running out of good chettinad non veg items to blog,I thought of making this today.An awsome lunch we had today. If you people are able to get good fresh mutton in your area surely give a try.You are sure to get an appreciation.Here we get good mutton so it was well cooked with in 12 minutes in the cooker.Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality and freshness of mutton.
