Dried spiced meat — Nepal's answer to jerky

Sukuti is dried meat — usually buff, goat or lamb — that has been sliced, spiced and air-dried until hard, then rehydrated and cooked in curries or tossed sadeko-style with onion, chilli, tomato and mustard oil. Originally a way to preserve meat in the hills before refrigeration, sukuti is now a beloved snack in its own right, often ordered alongside drinks in Nepali restaurants and prepared at home from grocery-store packets.
