Provides high-quality protein that is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and producing enzymes and hormones.
Chicken liver is an exceptional source of B vitamins, especially B12 and folate. These nutrients are vital for brain health, nerve function, and the formation of red blood cells.

The most common reason for tough liver is overcooking. Liver cooks very quickly. It's best to cook it on medium heat just until it's firm and no longer pink inside. It will continue to cook slightly from the residual heat after you turn off the stove.
To clean liver, rinse it under cold water and trim any connective tissues or greenish spots. To reduce its strong, metallic taste, you can soak the cleaned pieces in milk or lightly salted water for about 30 minutes. Discard the liquid, rinse the liver again, and pat it completely dry before cooking.
Absolutely. To make a gravy version, add about 1 cup of hot water after cooking the spices in Step 3. Bring it to a simmer, then add the liver and cook as directed. The gravy will thicken as it cooks.
Leftover Chicken Liver Masala can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
