Mutton Roast, also known as Mutton Sukka is a delicious recipe cooked with onion tomato gravy, curry leaves, and other spice powders. This goes amazing with hot plain rice, roti, appam and idiyappam.

This is a simple mutton recipe that is prepared within 30 mins. I have used both Shallots/small onions and normal big onions.
But you can either use both of these onions or any onions of your choice. To get a slightly tangy flavour, I have added a small tomato but you can skip them as well.

Even bachelors and new cooks can try this Mutton Roast or Mutton Sukka. The only thing you have to get is the right mutton chunks/tender meat.
Try to get young lamb which always enhances the taste when you cook. So try this mutton roast and let me know how it turned out for you.

Notes
