Sukuti – dried meat from Nepal: Cost and recipe
What is the price for sukuti (dried meat) from Nepal?
We bought sukuti in a local shop, the usual price is 1500Rs for kg.
Of course, we bought not one kg but few small pieces. The whole family loved it and ate the all day.
It is very tasty. A small piece can be eaten for a very long which is recommended to extract all the taste from it. Sometimes instead of meat, you can get vain. It is tasty too but a little bit hard and needs more time to soften.
If you don’t want to buy one you can make one.
Here is Masala for marinating about 1 kg of meat before drying:

- Cut the meat across the muscle fibers into a 1 cm thick strip and 5 cm wide. Rub the marinade and leave in a cool place for an hour. After this time the meat is ready for drying.
