How to cook it
-
Rinse the chicken livers and trim away any connective membrane, then pat dry and cut into bite-sized pieces.
-
Heat the oil in a wide pan and fry the sliced onion until golden brown, about 7 minutes, then add the ginger garlic paste for 1 minute.
-
Add the chopped tomato, red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder and cumin, and bhunno 5 minutes until the tomato breaks down and the oil separates.
-
Add the livers and turn the heat up, stirring often so they sear rather than stew, for 6 to 7 minutes until they are just cooked through and still tender inside.
-
Do not overcook past this point or the livers turn grainy and dry.
-
Finish with garam masala, slit green chilies and coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti.
