Chicken Kaleji Masala
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing garlic paste and onions in olive oil to develop fragrance and sweetness. Ground spices including chili, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and Kashmiri chili powder are then cooked with the onions to release their aroma. Chopped tomatoes are added and cooked until the oil separates, indicating a well-cooked masala base.
Chicken livers are added next and cooked on high heat briefly before simmering with water to tenderize and integrate the flavors. The dish finishes with garam masala, fresh coriander, sliced bullet chili for heat, and dried fenugreek leaves for a hint of bitterness that balances the rich liver.
Serve this hearty Kaleji Masala immediately, traditionally paired with chapatti or other flatbreads to soak the flavorful gravy. Its combination of spices and herbs makes it a distinctive liver dish with a layered taste and slightly spicy character.
