Goat Liver Fry | Eeral varuval | Step by step procedure with pictures
Mutton eeral (Goat liver) is little high in fat content but it does have a lot of iron and protein content. So once in a while eating this is good, you know. Liver will get cooked soon when compared to regular mutton pieces. So you can directly cook it in the pan. But I am using pressure cooker and cook for less whistles. Previously I had posted a soup recipe using Mutton bone, which is my all time favorite and good for health too. Be sure you check that too.
Today I am sharing a varuval (fry) recipe. However you can make it as a varuval or you can prepare it as a gravy for Chapati / Dosa. Same recipe for both. The consistency makes the difference. I like to make it spicy. Make sure you add right amount of spice as per your taste.
