Ingredients
- 300 g chicken hearts (about 0.6 lb)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil (or your preferred choice of cooking oil)
- 1 tablespoon crushed garlic and ginger
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder optional
- ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika (sweet or smoky)
- 3 stems spring onion (and some more to garnish)
- 1 tomato (optional - to garnish)
Instructions
- Finely slice the spring onions (scallions) and slice the tomatoes into huge chunks, then set aside.
- Clean the chicken hearts and trim off any excess fat (see notes on how to clean). Next, boil the chicken hearts in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes, discard the frothy hot water, sieve then set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan or skillet, add the chicken hearts and scallions (spring onions), crushed garlic and ginger, then combine.
- Add in the salt, ground turmeric, cumin powder, curry powder, ground paprika, then combine and fry for five minutes. Add the tomato chunks, cook for a further two minutes then garnish with some sliced spring onions.
- Serve the fried chicken hearts with pap, polenta, rice, cauliflower rice, or mash.

Notes
- Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling chicken hearts, or any type of organ meat. Work surfaces should also be properly cleaned and sanitized.
- Chicken hearts tend to turn chewy when cooked for too long. Boil chicken hearts for frying for 7-10 minutes, per 500 grams (about 1 lb).
- You can use store-bought garlic and ginger paste, but keep an eye on the ingredients for added sugars if on a low-carb diet.
- As a variation, use chopped chives, cilantro (coriander) or parsley, to garnish.
