Mutton Liver Fry
First of all I want to say sorry to all my readers for the late post. I am still on my India vacation and I couldn’t find time to post recipes but I promise when I come back I’ ll post variety of mouthwatering recipes in ST.
“Mutton Liver fry” or “Eeral varuval” is very popular dish in south india. And its one of my favorite too. My mom used to make this every weekends in my chilhood days. She says it’s good for health. And cooking mutton liver is little tricky. It should be soft and juicy. If you overcooked it it will turn out into rubber-like texture. So its all with the trial cooking and practice. So do get the right proportion adjust the water and cooking time. My mom usually make this for breakfast, it goes very well with idli and dosa.
Ingredients:
- Liver – 500 gm(cut into small pieces)
- Turmeric powder – 1 tsp
- Red chili powder : 1 tbsp (according to your spice level)
- Coriander powder – 1 tbsp
- Black Pepper – 1 tsp(opt)
- Onions – 1/2 cup(chopped)
- Tomato : 1
- Ginger&Garlic paste – 1 tbsp
- Cinnamom stick – 1 sticks
- Cloves(Grambu) – 3 nos
- Curry leaf – 1o
- Salt – As reqd
- Oil – 3 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
- Heat a pan and pour oil in it.
- Add cinnamon, cloves and finely chopped onion fry them till it becomes soft and translucent.
- Now add ginger& garlic paste sautee it till the raw smell goes off.
- Add finally the cut tomato and little salt mix it all together till it becomes soft.
- Now add curry leaves, turmeric , coriander and chilli powder.
- Fry them all together till becomes dry.
- Finally add the washed liver pieces(Make sure you add some (1/4 tsp)turmeric powder while cleaning the liver and if there is some small layer of skin,on top of it remove it).
- Now add enough water to cover the mixture(1/4 glass of water). If you want it to be semi-dry add some more water.
- Occasionally stir-fry. Cook in low flame.
- Add some pepper when you want it little spicy and some more flavor.
- Just let it sit in the flame for 15 minutes the liver fry will be ready. Don’t over cook it it will become hard.
- Finally garnish with cilantro.
- Serve them with naan, rotis, parathas, rice , idli and dosa.

hi shriya,
i am about to cook lamb liver. i have tried it often but cannot get it as succulent as i remember my mom used to make,,i suspected that i was overcooking it. i looked at lots of recipes but knew they were wrong in their timing.then i saw your blog and u mentioned about overcooking it..so i reconn u know what u are doing..so i am about to try your recipe..but is it 15 min covered or uncovered?
Hi Francis, Sorry for the late reply. Try to cook for atleast 15 minutes more or less covered. But just make sure to check every other 5 minutes whether it’s fully cooked and not hard. Usually liver gets fully cooked very quickly. It won’t take much time. Let me know how it turned out for you.
hi, you did not mention how many tomatoes in the ingredients.
?
Sorry about that You can use two tomatoes. I’ll add that in the ingredients list. Thanks for mentioning it out.
