Masala Liver ( Kaleji Recipe) – Bakra Eid Special Recipe

 I am starting to share the recipe for liver with you, specifically for Bakra Eid. There is a natural fragrance inside the liver — I will not call it smell. How can you remove it? How will it become soft? Why is it not hard? Why does it become soft? I will guide you completely.

Ingredients:

• ½ kg goat liver (mutton liver), cut into big pieces (you can cut as per your preference)
• Garlic (with peel, crushed)
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 4 tbsp curd
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ½ tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp crushed chili (or to taste)
• ¼ tsp red chili powder
• ¼ tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 3 green chilies, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• ½ cup cooking oil
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• 3–4 cloves
• 2 green cardamoms
• 3–4 black peppercorns
• Small piece of cinnamon
• ½ cup water
• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp garam masala (or to taste)
• Vegetable chilies and coriander (for garnish)

Preparation Steps:

Cut the Liver:

• Cut the goat liver into pieces of your desired size.
• I have not washed the liver yet. Important: Do not wash it when you bring it.

Apply Garlic:

• Crush garlic with the peel.
• Rub it over the unwashed liver pieces.
• Leave it for 15 minutes.

Wash the Liver:

• After 15 minutes, rinse the liver thoroughly under running water using a strainer.
• Remove blood, veins, etc., completely.
• Now the liver is clean and ready.

Marinate the Liver:

• Add 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 4 tbsp curd, and juice of 1 lemon.
• Mix well until it binds.

Add:

• ½ tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp crushed chili
• ¼ tsp red chili
• ¼ tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 3 chopped green chilies

• Mix everything well. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
• Chop Tomatoes & Onion:
• Meanwhile, chop 2 tomatoes and 1 medium onion.

Cooking Process:

1. Heat the Oil:
   

• In a pan, add ½ cup cooking oil.
  

• Let it heat up.
  

2. Add Whole Spices:
   

• Add:
  

• ½ tsp cumin seeds
  

• 3–4 cloves
  

• 2 green cardamoms
  

• 3–4 black peppercorns
  

• 1 small piece of cinnamon
  

• Fry for 30–40 seconds.
  

3. Add Onions:
   

• Add the chopped onions.
  

• Fry for 2 to 2½ minutes on medium flame.
  

4. Add Tomatoes:
   

• Add the chopped tomatoes.
  

• Let them soften in their own water.
  

• Do not press or mash; let them cook naturally.
  

5. Add Marinated Liver:
   

• Now, add the marinated liver into the softened tomatoes and onions.
  

• Fry on medium to low flame for 6 minutes.
  

• Do not skip this step. No compromise on frying!
  

6. Add Salt the Right Way:
   

• Mix ½ tsp salt in ½ cup water.
  

• Add this salt-water mixture to the pan.
  

• Do not add salt directly to the liver to keep it soft like cream.
  

• Mix well and cover.
  

• Cook on medium to low flame for 5 minutes.
  

7. Final Frying:
   

• After 5 minutes, uncover.
  

• Increase flame to high.
  

• Fry until the masala becomes dry (or to your preferred gravy level).
  

8. Finish with Garam Masala:
   

• Add 1 tsp garam masala.
  

• Mix and cook briefly.
  

• Do not overcook — liver will turn black.
  

Turn off the flame.

Serving: 

• Plate it nicely.

• Garnish with vegetable chilies and fresh coriander.
