Śuddhamāṃsa (शुद्धमांस) refers to a type of dish featuring meat (mamsa) as an ingredient, as described as described in the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.

(Ingredients of Śuddhamāṃsa): meat of any kind, ghee or oil, asafoetida, turmeric, water, salt, betel leaves, rice grains, cloves and black pepper.

(Cooking instructions): Fry asafoetida and turmeric in ghee or oil. The finely cut boneless pieces of mutton or any other kind of meat are washed and cooked slowly in this ghee. Add appropriate amount of water and salt to it. Add the vesavāra (masāla in Indian vernaculars) to it when the meat pieces are cooked well. According to Raghunātha, vesavāra can be prepared by mixing the powders of betel leaves, rice grains, cloves and black pepper in a particular proportion. Meat cooked in this way is called śuddhamāmsa.
