Chicken livers are easy to cook and my husband loves them in any form. I hate them with a passion and cook them only for him and guests! You will not that I have used spring onion greens instead of coriander leaves. It is simply because my husband does not like coriander leaves and I often serve them on the side.

Serves 3-4.

Ingredients

  • 400 gm. Chicken livers

  • 1 medium onion (150 gm.), peeled and sliced

  • 1 tsp. grated ginger root

  • 1 dry red chilli, broken up (optional)

  • 1/4 tsp. chilli powder, adjusted to taste

  • 1 heaped tsp. coriander powder

  • 1 heaped tsp. Chaat Masala. Ready made chat masala sold in packets is quite good, many professional cooks add it to curries to give them a kick. You can also use a good curry powder instead.
