Dhaba Style Beef Tawa Kaleji Recipe OR Street Food Tawa Kaleji || How to Make Tawa Kaleji Fry Recipe with Step-by-Step Photos and Video.

Tawa Kaleji is a traditional, highly favored Pakistani street food recipe. Recently, I cooked a delicious dish on a tawa, enhancing it with spices and herbs. I used the homemade kaleji masala that I shared in a previous post. After a long break,

I’ve started writing my blog again. I had been busy with personal engagements over the last few months, but now I'm free and eager to dive back into blog writing—a passion of mine since my teenage years. InshaAllah, I will do my best to share some interesting recipes I hope you will love.

My Latest Tawa Kaleji Video:

I've been working on updating my content across my YouTube channel, Facebook, and blog. So, without further ado, let me introduce you to a delicious recipe: Dhaba-style Tawa Kaleji. This winter, I love enjoying this tasty dish with chapatis and naan.

WHAT IS TAWA KALEJI?

Beef /Mutton liver or tawa kaleji masala is a traditional dish, popular street food in Lahore, that is cooked on a cast-iron tawa combined with other offal. It’s the first dish usually prepared in every Pakistani home on Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice.

It’s a quick and easy stir-fry that tastes delicious, especially when prepared with fresh meat. The same dish is more popularly prepared with chicken liver, too.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MASALA IF I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC KALEJI MASALA?

Of course! In this recipe, kaleji masala is not necessary. You can substitute it with individual regular spice powders. The essential ingredients for kaleji masala include red chili powder, salt, turmeric, coriander, black pepper, and kasuri methi. You can use these with the same herbs and tomato chilies as in the original recipe."

Recipe Notes:

To achieve perfect and tender kaleji (liver), avoid adding salt at the beginning of the cooking process.
Cook the liver for no more than 15 to 20 minutes, as overcooking can make it tough instead of soft and tender.
Refrain from adding water while cooking the liver; if it becomes necessary to add some, do so sparingly, as too much water can prevent the liver from achieving the desired tenderness.
To eliminate any unpleasant smell and residual blood from the liver, soak it in a mixture of salt and vinegar water for 15 minutes before cooking.
In this recipe, I used my homemade kaleji powder. You can either follow my recipe exactly or customize it with your preferred spices, including any store-bought spice powders available in your area.

Kofta Aloo Curry | Meatballs Potato Curry || How to make kofta aloo curry with step-by-step photos

Kofta aloo curry is one of the most favorite and traditional dishes. The origin came from Mughal Empire cuisine in the Indian subcontinent. where this kofta used to be served on the royal dining table. gradually this delicious meatball curry spread worldwide, especially in Asian countries.

Kofta aloo curry is actually a flavored and delicious gravy-based curry, A Pakistani-style meatball curry. Moist meatballs and potatoes are cooked in a thick, smooth curry sauce with some basic spices.

I grew up eating delicious homemade Pakistani food from my mother. Since I have learned from her, I have the same approach to cooking. I like to show that cooking can be easy, and with simple ingredients, you can make delicious meals. If you are new to cooking in general or are excited to learn South Asian food, I recommend starting with simple recipes. This is definitely a great recipe to start off with and will quickly become a favorite.

There are several methods to cook this curry. But I made it in my style. I have shared a few meatball curry recipes in my earlier post, but this is another version that is quite super soft, spongy, and juicy meatballs that can be added to many other dishes other than

kofta curry, like kadhi kofta, palak aloo, tahari, pulao, etc

In additional ingredients. I added potatoes with meatballs as my elder brother wants potatoes in each meal. a potato lover. If he had the option, he would have just eaten potatoes 😊, but if you don’t like can be skipped at your choice.

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photo, instructions, and tips above the recipe card.d

Recipe notes:

I used 80% boneless beef meat along with 20% fat for making meatballs. A little fat adds flavor and keeps the meatballs moist. If you prefer, you can also use ground mutton or lamb instead of beef. It's important to fry the meatballs before adding them to the gravy to help prevent them from breaking and becoming hard. For binding, gram flour or roasted chickpeas work well, but you should limit their amount to no more than 30% of the mixture. Adding too much of these ingredients can make the meatballs tough and dry. Grinding the meat with onion helps to keep the kofta soft and juicy. This curry pairs beautifully with rice, naan, or chapati. A side salad would complement the meal nicely. If you like it a bit spicy, serve it with a side of whipped yogurt seasoned with salt and pepper.

Homemade Stock is known as a flavored and aromatic Yakhni that is used as the base of many recipes, such as Chinese dishes, soup, pulao, etc. It has a delicious flavor and is wonderfully nutritious. Once you learn how to make homemade stock, you will be hooked for life, just like stock.

Here I am giving both veggie and non-veggie stock. Just keep in mind, this is actually very simple and easy to do while you prepare other food or go on with your day. A better choice than store-bought stock is pure and hygienic, so you can store more than a month for later.

To prepare chicken stock, use chicken with bones, including some additional whole spices. Likewise, to make veggie stock, you just have to skip the chicken and chicken powder as well as add 1 more additional spice, so let's go below what I have explained

Note, after cooking the stock, just mix 2 pinches of lemon color to bring a bright and beautiful color to the stock, so let's begin
