Absolutely finger licking kaleji fry made in dhaba style. Tastes so delicious with tandoori rotis, naans or rumali rotis. Slow cooking and Sauteing / bhunofying gives the dishes a real good taste which is missing in the pressure cooked food. The liver gets cooked in its own juices and the ingredients are added one by one while sauteing. The salt has to be added at the finishing stage. This is the secret of a perfectly cooked liver. If you add it while cooking it becomes hard.
Ingredients:
Goat kaleji / liver .... 400 gms
Onions .......... 2 sliced finely
Tomato ........ 1 small
Yogurt ......... 4-5 tbsps
Green chillies ... 2-3 (you can add more if you like )
