Ingredients
- Buffalo or goat meat
- 500 grams, cut into thin strips or bite-sized pieces
- Ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Mustard oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste
- Red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon, adjust for spice preference
- Turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, mustard oil, and lemon juice to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the thinly sliced meat to the marinade, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated. For best results, cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and evenly spread the marinated meat on it, making sure the pieces are not overlapping.
- Bake the meat for 2 hours, flipping the pieces halfway through the cooking time to ensure even drying. The meat should become dry, firm, and slightly crispy.
- Once done, remove the sukuti from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of black pepper or a splash of vinegar to the marinade.
- If you prefer a smokier flavor, try cooking the sukuti on a grill or in a smoker instead of the oven.
- Sukuti can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week and makes for a great snack on the go!
