What is Mutton Chukka Varuval?
Mutton Chukka/Sukka fry is nothing but mutton cooked with spices like onions, ginger, garlic, curry leaves, pepper, coriander leaves and coconut milk, and then dry roasted.
This dish is very popular in South India, especially Madurai.
But in this recipe, I have used cooked mutton from the mutton kolambu instead of raw mutton.

I usually prefer using kolambu powder for preparing many curry varieties for rice or chapathi or idly or dosa or any other main dishes. It helps me in preparing both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
One such dish that I prepared using homemade kulambu podi is Mutton Kolambu. The mutton in this kulambu is later used to prepare mutton chukka varuval.
