Liver and Kidney Pepper Fry

This is one of my husband's and son's favorite dish. My son loves to eat liver and kidney and is a staple dish at home. Its nutritious and high in protein.



Ingredients:

Goat’s Liver / Kidney - 1 lb
Onions – 2
Ginger Garlic Paste – 2 Tsp
Pepper Corns – 3 Tsp
Jeera – 1 Tsp
Chili Powder – 1 Tsp
Turmeric Powder – ½ Tsp
Garam Masala – 1 Tsp
Pepper Powder – 1 Tsp
Curry Leaves – 5-7

Coarsely chop the onions. In a blender, add the onions along with the jeera, ginger garlic paste and pepper corns and blend it coarsely.
In a tava, add oil and the curry leaves. Add the onion mixture and sauté well until the raw smell disappears. Add all the powders and add the washed and cleaned liver/kidney to the tava. Add salt. Close the tava until the liver/kidney gets cooked. Take care not to overcook the liver and kidney since they tend to get tougher when overcooked. Once cooked, open tava, and let the water dry out. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with white rice.
