Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken liver
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 small Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken liver thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with kitchen towels. Cut the liver into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the garlic, ginger, onion, tomatoes, and green chili. Set them aside in separate bowls for easy access.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the green chili and tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and start to break down.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are aromatic.

Step 8

Add the chicken liver to the skillet and gently stir to coat with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ensure the liver is cooked through but still tender.

Step 10

Sprinkle the garam masala and salt over the liver. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a drizzle of lemon juice for added freshness.

Step 12

Serve hot with a side of whole-grain bread, brown rice, or a light salad for a heart-healthy meal.
