Instructions
Gently wash the Chicken Heart and Liver under running water Note:- ensure the water pressure is light or else the Liver might get damaged since it is very delicate
Now if the Heart and liver are not separated, cut them and separate them and take off the fat (the white substance) on the sides of the heart and liver
Transfer the Liver in a skillet(we will cook the liver in the same ) add all the above mentioned ingredients, except Coriander leaves, Ketchup & Capsicum(if using)
Mix it well and let it marinade in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or more if you have the time
After 1-2 hours, place the skillet on medium high flame
As the Gravy starts to boil, add the Ketchup and gently mix it in the gravyNote:- while stirring or tossing the Liver, you must do so from the bottom and dont let your Spoon come in contact with with liver or else, the liver will get smashed
As the gravy further thickens, add the Chopped coriander and Capsicum (if using) and toss it. Check for salt, vinegar or ketchuNote:-Please Do Not forget to add chopped Coriander leaves. The taste gets elevated only once you add chopped Coriander
Let the water get evaporated completely and turn off the flameNote:- The total time to cook Chicken liver is 10-12 minutes maximum, on high heat. If you over cook it, it will become hard and its not so much fun to eat Hard cooked liver, bit its totally upto you, how you like it!
And we're ready to serve!
