chicken liver with tomatoes

Here is the recipes for chicken liver which is easy and quite fast to make.

You can make it spicy or no heat as you like, add some water almost in the end to make the sauce thinner and dip some pita or naan bread (any flat bread you like).

For this recipe you will need:
2-3 tbsp oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, cut into quarters
1/2 tsp ginger powder (or about 5 mm of fresh ginger, cut into small pieces)
1/2 tsp sea salt (table salt will do as well)
1 big tomato
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp chili powder (optional, you can make it even spicier by adding more chili, but be careful with this spice, remember we are making liver with spices, not chili with some other ingredients)
250 g chicken liver, well washed and cut into halves or quarters
a few stems of fresh coriander (optional)

Preparation:
In a medium size pot (I used a 2 liter one) heat the oil over medium heat, add onions and fry till the onions are soft and somewhat golden brown in color. Watch carefully as they tend to burn quickly, stir frequently and do not raise the heat to fasten the process.

Meanwhile put garlic and salt in mortar and make paste, add ginger powder half way through. if using fresh ginger just add at once along with garlic and salt. I like using freshly made garlic and ginger paste as it has great flavor unlike store-bought, however, if you are in a hurry or don't want to make paste you can use ready made from the shop (about 1 - 1.5 tsp I guess).
Here is how my garlic-ginger-salt paste looked:

When onion turn golden brown add the garlic mix, stir for a couple of minutes. Add tomato and cook until the tomato begins to soften. Add turmeric and chili and continue cooking till everything is well mixed and turns into paste.
You basically want to get from this

to this

and finally to this

Once this paste is done, add chicken liver and stir on high heat to seal it. Lower the heat back to medium and cook till the liver is cooked through but still soft. Do not overcook as it will become hard and chewy. Add more salt to taste if you like.

Basically that's it. Transfer to a serving bowl, chop the coriander and sprinkle on top. Serve with freshly cut vegetables and flat bread like naan or pita.

Enjoy!!!

Let me know if you made it and how it was.

That's all...
