Variations of mutton liver masala

This mutton liver masala is a dry version. Here I have used very minimum water, adding it gradually in the process of cooking. You can make it semi-dry or gravy version with the same recipe. You just need to add the water as per your required consistency. Semi-dry and gravy taste great equally and pair well with rice, roti, chapatti, paratha, dosas and idli.

This recipe doesn’t use coconut but you can use coconut as well if you like. Add the grated coconut while roasting the spices.
