Prep the Chicken Liver:
Start by washing the chicken liver thoroughly with some salt and turmeric powder to remove any impurities. Rinse it a couple of times, ensuring no water remains in the bowl after straining. Cut the liver into 1-inch pieces and set it aside. -
Cook the Aromatics:
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a wok or kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the curry leaves and slit green chillies, sautéing for a minute to release their aroma. Then, add the thinly sliced onion, chopped ginger, and garlic. Cook these ingredients on medium flame for about 4 to 5 minutes until the onions soften and begin to brown. -
Add the Spices:
Once the onions have softened, add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion mixture. -
Cook the Chicken Liver:
Add the chicken liver pieces to the wok and sauté them well. Make sure all the liver pieces are coated in the spices and aromatics. Continue sautéing until the liver is cooked through, which should take about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. -
Final Touch:
Sprinkle in the black pepper powder and sauté the liver for another minute. Taste and adjust the salt and spice levels to your liking. -
Serve:
Once the chicken liver is cooked and the flavors have melded together, turn off the heat. Transfer the Andhra Chicken Liver Fry to a serving bowl.
