Notes

Use Boneless mutton cubes for better taste but regular bone in mutton pieces can also be used. Gravy can be adjusted according to your preference. Mutton Sukka is usually a dry dish so i have used less water for the masala.

Keeping the mutton marinated for at least 30mins or overnight makes it tender and flavorful. I had kept it overnight.
