How to prepare chicken liver varattiyathu

Cut liver into desired cubes. Rub with salt and turmeric powder and wash liver pieces thoroughly at least three to four times and drain out all the excess water and keep aside.

You can use a heavy bottom pan with a lid or the pressure cooker. If using pressure cooker do use whistle.

Put all the ingredients listed under 1 and add three tsps of water. Do not add too much water as liver will start oozing out water. Add salt only when liver is almost cooked otherwise it can make it tough. Cook this in medium flame for 8-10 minutes and add salt continue to cook without lid till all the water get evaporated.

Heat coconut oil in a fry pan and add ginger and curry leaves and roast till there is a nice aroma. Add the cooked liver and sauté and till all the masala gets well coated and gets slightly roasted. Serve with chapatis..
