To reduce the heat, use half the amount of red chili powder and omit the green chilies. You can add a pinch of black pepper for a gentle warmth.
For a richer finish, stir in 2 tablespoons of beaten full-fat yogurt or fresh cream at the very end, after turning off the heat. Mix gently until combined.
Add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced bell peppers (capsicum) along with the tomatoes for added texture, color, and a slightly sweet flavor.
You can make this recipe with chicken liver and kidneys. Reduce the cooking time in step 4, as chicken organs cook much faster, typically in 5-7 minutes total.
Organ meats like liver are one of the best dietary sources of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body. Iron is crucial for preventing anemia, boosting energy levels, and maintaining healthy red blood cells.
Liver is packed with Vitamin B12, essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. A single serving can provide well over the daily recommended intake.
Both liver and kidneys provide a complete source of high-quality protein, which is vital for building and repairing tissues, muscle maintenance, and overall body function.
This dish is a good source of zinc and selenium, minerals that play a key role in supporting a healthy immune system and protecting cells from damage.
A single serving of Gurda Kaleji Fry contains approximately 380-450 calories, depending on the amount of oil used and the fat content of the meat.
It can be part of a healthy diet in moderation. Organ meats are incredibly nutrient-dense, packed with high-quality protein, iron, and Vitamin B12. However, they are also high in cholesterol, so it's best consumed occasionally, especially for those monitoring their cholesterol levels.
The key is thorough cleaning. First, meticulously remove the white membrane and veins from the center. Then, soak the pieces in a solution of water and vinegar (or lemon juice) for at least 15-20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly afterward. This process significantly reduces the gamey odor.
The most common reason for tough liver is overcooking. Liver cooks very quickly. Once you add it to the pan, it only needs 7-9 minutes. Cook it just until it's no longer pink inside. Overcooking denatures the proteins excessively, resulting in a hard, rubbery texture.
Absolutely! You can make 'Kaleji Fry' or 'Gurda Fry' by using 500g of just one type of organ meat and following the same recipe. Adjust cooking times accordingly; liver alone will cook faster.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm it in a pan over low heat with a splash of water to prevent it from drying out. Be aware that the liver's texture may become slightly firmer upon reheating.
