Notes

  • You can add a teaspoon of coriander and/or black pepper.
  • I am a hardcore liver lover so I use any type of liver in this recipe including beef liver which has a strong flavor. You can start with lamb, calf, mutton or venison liver if you would like a mild one.
  • Some people like using ghee or butter for this recipe, but I like using oil.
  • Storage: Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze leftovers for up 4 months.
