Ingredients

Goat liver - 1/2 Kg
Shallots- 10-15
Ginger- 2 inch thick

Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
(or thinly sliced coconut- 3 tbs)

Cut liver into small cubes. Rub with salt and turmeric powder and wash liver pieces thoroughly for at least three to four times. Drain out all the excess water and keep aside.

You can use a heavy bottom pan. Add liver, turmeric powder and pepper powder and 1/4 cup 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. Continue cooking till soft and all the water evaporates.

In a mixer coarsely blend dry red chilly,shallots, ginger, garlic and a few curry leaves.

Heat oil in a pan and add curry leaves. Fry coconut and fennel seeds till it changes color. Next add the onion chilly mixture and saute till golden brown.Mix all the dry spice powders and fry till oil separates. Add the cooked liver and mix well till the masala is well coated.If it is too dry sprinkle little water.Saute for 3-4 minutes and switch off the flame. Serve with rice.
