This spicy beef liver recipe is piping hot from spices and easy to prepare. Jalapeno and liver will take you on a culinary adventure and explore the senses of this nutritional benefited meal!!
Behind this nutritious recipe is a story from my childhood. Liver in general is disliked for its taste and consistency. However ingredients like onion, garlic and spices pip up the flavor which makes it delicious. Back in my days liver was served once a while but often. Watched my mom prepare liver with Indian spices and black pepper which I prefered to use in this recipe. Beef liver is available in supermarkets / local butchers and will definitely recommend for its nutritious benefits like iron and vitamins. Being raised up in India, craving for spicy foods is just in our blood. I pick jalapenos which is merely mild to moderate in terms of the Scoville scale and accounts for many health benefits in this recipe. Rounding off this dish with yoghurt to balance the spice heat. This delicious dish goes perfect with organic brown rice. Yummy!!
