Nepali Dry Meat

Sukuti is edible dry meat (jerky). Some eat sukuti as it is. Some prefer charbroiled and spiced as an appetizer, some mix with other
ingredients and mix it with achar or even curry.  Some put it in noodles, Thokpa or chowmin. It gives different tastes with different items and mix.
 
Sukuti is dried in sun or on charcoal smoke fire. 

People mix it with various spices and keep the sukuti lump for drying above the fire place, or under the sun, till it is gets dry. Some dry sukuti even with vapor coming out of the food
