Cast Iron Cooking: The Soul of Kovai Mutton Chukka Roasting
Iron and Fire: The Village Kadai Method
Modern non-stick pans cannot sustain the intense, dry radiant heat needed for a true mutton chukka. In our mess, every batch of mutton chukka is roasted in heavy, 20-year-old cast iron kadhais.
The iron distributes intense heat evenly, allowing the goat mutton pieces to form a deep brown caramelized crust while locking in the juicy shallot and pepper reduction inside.
