Bhuni Kaleji is a very delicious, wholesome, and spiced non-vegetarian
meal. It is also called Bhuni Kaleji in Urdu. Kaleji might have several names – Liver (in English) or Yakrit (in
Hindi), but when it comes to taste, it’s terrific.
It’s one of my
favorites in non-vegetarian food, too.
I made this beef
Kaleji masala with my mother’s recipe recently,
and it turned out to be fantastic! I, along with my family, loved it; it made my
heart groove!! kaleji is quite a spicy and tasty
meal, a curry that produces blood in the human body. It is loaded with iron and
minerals.
This Kaleji recipe, or bhuni kaleji masala, is very easy. Anyone who has just started to cook can make it. Just keep in mind that the kaleji or beef liver doesn’t take much time when you are cooking it in the pressure cooker; two to three whistles are the maximum. My advice would be, whenever you make it in a pressure cooker, allow only 1 whistle on a high flame, and then cook for around 6-7 minutes on a low flame.
I have used yogurt instead of tomatoes. You can skip yogurt completely. There is no need to put much water too; a small cup will be okay, as Kaleji itself leaves water while being cooked.
Trust me, it is made so delicious and spicy, so soft and easy to cook
if you follow me step by step, and follow my instructions too; you can
get the same result as liver masala
The main ingredients are liver, yogurt, and ginger garlic paste. It
is prepared with a very small amount of spices. I cook it with beef; if you can
make it with mutton, lamb, or chicken
Tips:
- To prepare kaleji, remove the membrane from the liver's surface
- Always cook on high-medium heat
- Don’t completely cover the liver during cooking
- Don’t add salt during cooking
- Don’t add water
- It will cook with yogurt and its own water
- Kaleji takes hardly 10-15 minutes to cook
- Don't overcook the kaleji; it becomes hard and rubbery
- If you are using chicken kaleji, I don’t add papaya paste
- It may shred during cooking time
