Liver fry

This is husband recipe he adapted from m-law. When she was with us i never cared to know how she made this because i never ate it. Husband and kids used to eat it. The greens which she used in this recipe is alien to me. I heard that it is used in Arabic cuisine and m-law uses it only in liver fry, reason not known to me. This liver fry has been cooked by husband and first time i tasted it. The taste was too good and kids too liked it a lot. I used chicken liver but back home m-law uses mutton liver. Here goes the recipe:-

Ingredients:-

Chicken Liver 1 pound
Dill leaves or sogi kura few strands
Onions 1 chopped
Cinnamon 1inch pc
Green chillies 2 chopped
Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp
Turmeric powder a pinch
Coriander powder 1 tsp
Red chilly powder 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil 3 tbsp

Method:-

Marinate Liver with ginger garlic paste,turmeric powder and salt. Keep it for half an hour.

Heat oil, when hot add cinnamon stick.Then add  onions and green chillies. Once they are fried add dill leaves.

Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add red chilly powder,coriander powder and turmeric powder.

Again saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken liver. Mix well and cover the pan. Let the liver cooks in its own water.

It make take about 10 minutes for liver to cook. Once all the water is evaporated and liver changes its colour to dark brown it means its almost done.

Fry for another 2 minutes so the liver cooks 100 %.

Serve as a side dish or as a starter as in my house. It was done before i served lunch.

Happy cooking.....
