Liver Varattiyathu


Liver Varattiyathu
Liver recipes is very popular in Kerala. I have already posted a chicken liver fry. This is a different preparation and is spicy and delicious with very less gravy.It is spicy and peppery. You can increase or decrease pepper according to taste and spice tolerance. It is a very quick recipe. All you do is pre-cook the liver with spices and finally roast it with little oil and curry leaves . Try this you will surely love it...




Ingredients

1)Chicken/Mutton Liver- 1 lb
Shallots sliced-  1 1/2 cup
Ginger sliced- 2 inch peice
Garlic- 2-3 pods
Green chilly- 3-4
Turmeric  powder- 1/3 tsp
cumin- a pinch (optional)
Pepper powder- 1 1/3 tsp
Coriander powder- 1/2 tsp
Fennel powder- 1 tsp
Clove powder- a pinch
(you can also add just 3/4 tsp of garam
masala instead of fennel and clove powder)

2)Curry leaves- two springs
Sliced ginger- 1/2 tsp
Coconut oil- 3 tsp
salt to taste


Cut liver into desired cubes. Rub with salt and turmeric powder and wash liver pieces thoroughly at least three to four times and drain out all the excess water and keep aside.
You can use a heavy bottom pan with a lid or the pressure cooker. If using pressure cooker do use whistle.
Put all the ingredients listed under 1 and add three tsps of water. Do not add too much water  as liver will start oozing out water. Add salt only when liver is almost cooked other wise it can make it tough. Cook this in medium flame for 8-10 minutes and add salt continue to cook without lid till all the water get evoporated.
Heat coconut oil in a fry pan and add ginger and curry leaves and roast till there is a nice aroma. Add the cooked liver and saute and till all the masala gets well coated and gets slightly roasted. Serve with rice,bread or chapatis..

Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy..

Beef Fry/ Kerala Pepper Beef Fry

Kerala Beef Fry Beef Fry (Kerala Style) is very popular especially in Tattukadas or fast food outlets. It can also be made at home. If you are not familiar with tattukadas they are makeshift eateries flocked by local people throughout the day and serve local delicacies. Beef curry or beef varattiyathu is also served in thattukadas and restaurants in Kerala. Beef fry and Kerala layered parotta is a popular combo. It’s a great side dish for a crowd, so next time you have a party, you should give this a try. It is an easy recipe and tastes super delicious. Now when I say beef fry it might get a bit of a bad rap in the ‘wellness world’. Let me assure you this beef fry is finger-licking delicious with bold flavors. Even though it is called beef fry it is not deep-fried. The beef is first cooked with aromatic spices and then further pan-fried or roasted till the meat gets coated with masala's and crispy on the outside. The beef is succulent with the right amount of heat and flavo...

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste.

But that is not the case w...
