Cook the Liver and Potatoes
Finish and Garnish
You can make this dish with chicken liver. Reduce the simmering time to 10-12 minutes as chicken liver cooks faster.
For a more wholesome 'chorchori', you can add other vegetables like carrots or green peas along with the potatoes.
Increase the amount of red chili powder and add a few more slit green chilies for a fiery kick.
Add 2 tablespoons of whisked yogurt to the masala after the tomatoes have cooked down for a creamier, tangier gravy.
Mutton liver is an excellent source of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body and is crucial for preventing iron-deficiency anemia and boosting energy levels.
This dish provides high-quality protein from the liver, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
Packed with Vitamin A, B vitamins (especially B12), and zinc, mutton liver helps strengthen the immune system, supports good vision, and aids in nerve function.
The use of spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic provides powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that support overall health and well-being.
One serving of Mete Chorchori contains approximately 450-550 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the size of the potatoes, the amount of oil used, and the fat content of the liver.
Mete Chorchori can be a healthy dish in moderation. Mutton liver is incredibly nutrient-dense, packed with iron, protein, and Vitamin A. However, it is also high in cholesterol and purines. The use of mustard oil and potatoes adds to the calorie count. It's best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
Yes, absolutely. Chicken liver is a great substitute. It is more tender and cooks much faster. Reduce the final simmering time to about 10-12 minutes to prevent it from overcooking.
This dish pairs wonderfully with plain steamed rice, which soaks up the delicious semi-dry gravy. It also goes well with Bengali Luchi (puffed fried bread) or Parathas.
Store any leftover Mete Chorchori in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat thoroughly in a pan or microwave before serving.
The most common reason for tough liver is overcooking. Liver cooks very quickly. It's important to sear it on high heat and then simmer gently just until it's cooked through. It should be firm but still yield to pressure.
