Special Lamb River

Ingredients 

For the marinade

• 500 g of liver, cut into bite-sized pieces 
• 1 teaspoon of ginger 
• 1 teaspoon of garlic paste 
• juice of 1 lemon 
• ½ teaspoon cumin powder 
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder 
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder 
• 2 teaspoons of coriander powder 
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped or minced 
• 4 tablespoons of yoghurt  

For the curry 

• 125 ml of oil 
• 2 pinches of cumin seeds  
• 6 whole cloves  
• 4 cardamoms  
• ½ teaspoon whole black pepper or coarsely crushed black pepper  
• 1 whole cinnamon 
• 1 onion, finely processed 
• 2 tomatoes, finely processed 
• Salt to taste 
• Fresh coriander for garnishing 
• Green chillies for garnishing 

For peri-peri sauce 

• 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped 
• Salt to taste

For Garnishing  

• Boiled egg white, grated on top 

 Method 

• Marinate the liver with all the ingredients from the 'marination' section and marinate everything for a minimum of one hour. 
• In a deep pot or wok, heat the oil. Add in the onions and sauté them over medium-to-high heat for 6–8 minutes, until they begin to turn golden. 
• Add in the blended tomatoes and sauté everything further over a high heat till the mixture becomes very thick, concentrated, and glossy. The oil should begin to separate at the edges. 
• Towards the end of this, add in all the spices. 
• Add in the marinated liver. Sauté this mixture in the oil well. This will take a lot of time, as the liver and yoghurt will release some moisture.  
• Keep sautéing the liver until the mixture looks thick and the oil separates at the edges. 
• Add 100 ml of water, bring to a boil, then cover and cook on low for 5–10 minutes. 
• Finish off with a heavy hand of coriander and boiled, grated eggs for garnishing. Serve with peri-peri sauce.
