Kaleji Masala

🇮🇳 Indian

Kaleji masala, liver fried hard with onions, winter-street favourite. The festival-pot format: big flavours for many hands. Serve with steamed rice, rumali roti or plain parathas.

Prep 20 min Cook 58 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt1/2 cup, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste2 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Green Chili2
  • Coriander Powder2 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder1 tsp
  • Whole Garam Masala Spices2 tsp
  • Bay Leaf2
  • Red Chili Powder2 tsp
  • Mustard Oil3 tbsp
  • Lamb Liver500 g

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the mutton in the onion and yogurt — long and slow is the only way tender happens.

  2. 2

    Get the oil properly hot, drop in bay, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, and wait for the perfume.

  3. 3

    Fry the onions till deep brown — properly brown, ten to twelve minutes; this sweetness carries the curry.

  4. 4

    Add the marinated lamb liver and sear on high, turning, till no pink remains; then add hot water to cover and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Cover and cook low and slow — 60 to 90 minutes or till the meat yields to a spoon — then reduce the gravy, finish with garam masala and cilantro.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
