Mutton Liver fry is fried in very less amount of spices mainly pepper and liver is one of the best portions of the lamb.
Lamb parts are basically used to make many recipes and one such recipe is mutton chops where the meat chops are cooked in various ways.
Liver is a very soft portion of goat/lamb and is a common made curry in every muslim household. We often make kaleji gurde ka salan or kaleji masala as a side dish to chapathi in breakfast and is also a useful recipe to be made during festivals like bakrid.
This recipe is quite simple but it's yummy and delicious that one cannot resist to have more of it. It goes well with both roti and rice.
It is also a healthy dish as lamb liver is very good for health and mutton liver benefits are plenty such as lamb liver is high in Vitamin A and includes ingestion of good quality protein.. It is good for increasing haemoglobin levels in blood and many more.
We usually refer to mutton liver recipe in Hyderabad as kaleji ka salan and hope this recipe of mine is liked by my readers...
Mutton Liver is very soft in texture and slippery but this portion of the lamb is one of my favorites as it is healthy too. Making mutton liver fry mainly with pepper fry gives the best flavor . It can also be used to make liver curry.
If one does not like to pressure cook, then liver can also be made in a handi or a vessel and slow cooked for about 25 to 30 minutes without pressure cooking. It gives a good gravy if slow cooked by covering the lid on low flame.
This is just one of the various ways kaleji can be made and shall try to post various curry recipes or gravy recipes that can be made with mutton liver.
Kaleji is a good source of iron and is very good for health and this does not take much time to cook... We can just boil the mutton liver and fry in some basic spices and have it as kaleji fry which tastes really good and easy to make recipe.
One can stir fry the liver but, I feel doing so does not help the liver in cooking from inside and therefore, in this recipe I have pressure cooked the liver with spices.
I have now shared and updated this recipe with a video method as well and hope my top blog post is loved by all my viewers with the video recipe.

Hi, I had tried the pressure cooker way 2 years ago but it didn't turn out to be soft. Also, it turns out to be hard when I cook in a Kadai. Is your recipe going to make it soft? Please suggest something to make the liver pieces tender. I always buy them fresh but end up cooking harder liver pieces 🙁
asiya
Hi Mansi liver is such an ingredient which tends to get harder the more we cook, but it tastes awesome. If you are looking to make them softer just saute the liver in oil with spices in kadai for few minutes and not longer time. If you cook for a longer time they definitely would get harder.

Ria
Hi Asiya,
I tried this recipe. But why is it that while cooking it, the mutton liver was giving a bad smell. Does this always happen while cooking liver? Please help. Thanks.
asiya
Hi Ria... it won't give a bad smell...wash it well and buy a freshly cut mutton liver... it gives a smell I agree but that is not a bad one...Try to saute well so that the smell disappears...
Ria
Thanks Asiya
As I have read on the internet, Is it necessary to soak the liver in milk to clean it?
asiya
Not really Ria, because I have made this recipe many a times and we do not follow those procedures but you can opt for that cleaning procedure...it does not spoil your dish... Also check my chicken liver fry recipe as I have shared video procedure for that recipe...
