You may not have heard of kaleji before. Kaleji refers to the liver of mutton or chicken. Now that might sound off-putting, but it’s a very common Indian and Pakistani delicacy. It really is delicious and tastes so good. It may sound unconventional, but hey you have to try it before you can judge.

Turns out the liver is actually very healthy. It has an array of benefits as it is the most nutrient-dense organ meat. Who would have thought?! If you have anaemia, then this curry recipe is definitely for you.

The liver is loaded with iron, so it’s a perfect addition for those with iron deficiencies. Not only this, but it does wonders for your eye health.
