  2. Add ginger-garlic paste and slit green chillies. Cook until the raw smell goes.
  3. Add chopped or puréed tomatoes and the spice powders (turmeric, red chilli, coriander, cumin). Cook until oil separates.

  5. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes. Do not overcook the liver.

Notes

Serve hot with roti, naan, paratha, or steamed rice. Add a side of sliced onions and lemon wedges for extra taste. A simple raita or salad pairs well to balance the spice. Store properly for later use: cool to room temperature before storing and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
