Chicken liver pepper fry is delightfully easy and delicious side dish that can be served with an Indian spread. I love to make it on weekdays to be eaten with Indian flat breads. The best part is it uses very few ingredients and all of them are easily available in our kitchens. I recommend the use of freshly ground peppercorns instead using a store bought ground pepper. Chicken liver has good amount of vitamins and minerals, is very soft to eat when cooked and you can adjust the spiciness to your comfort level so its a hit with children too.
Ingredients
- Chicken livers 400 gm
- Onions 4 chopped finely
- Tomatoes 1 chopped finely
- Ginger paste 1 Tbsp
- Garlic paste 1 Tbsp
- Ground Cumin 1 Tsp
- Red chile powder 1 Tsp
- Cumin 1/4th Tsp
- Powdered Turmeric 1/2 Tsp
- Salt to taste
- Oil 2 Tbsp

Method
Step 1
Wash and drain chicken liver and mix it with turmeric powder. Keep aside for about 5-7 minutes
Step 2
Heat the oil in a wide pan, add cumin seeds and onion and fry for a few seconds. Add ginger and garlic paste and fry till the onions turn translucent.
Step 3
Add the chicken liver and keep frying. Do not cover the pan. The liver will release some water, let the water evaporate completely.
Step 4
Sprinkle pepper powder, chile powder, cumin powder over the liver and mix well. Tip in the chopped tomatoes and let them soften. The liver will continue to cook in the juices released by the tomatoes.
Step 5
Add salt and keep tossing till all the water evaporates. By this time the liver will be completely cooked. You should not cover the pan while cooking chicken liver.
Step 6
Garnish with coriander and serve.

Chicken Liver Trivia
While chicken is one of the most commonly eaten meats, the liver is often overlooked as an undesirable part of the bird. Chicken liver does contain a large amount of cholesterol, but it also supplies healthy doses of many essential vitamins and minerals. Look beyond the traditional liver and onions for new preparation methods that might just motivate you to give this meat another try.
Chicken liver is a nutritious source of B vitamins. One chicken liver contains 7.41 micrograms of vitamin B12, which is significantly more than the 2.4 milligrams you need each day. You need vitamin B12 for the healthy function of your brain and nervous system and to replenish your blood supply. One chicken liver supplies 254 micrograms of the 400 micrograms of folic acid you need on a daily basis. Folic acid reduces your risk of certain birth defects. The same chicken liver contains 5,864 international units of vitamin A, a nutrient that is essential for the health of your eyes and white blood cells. This is more than the 2,300 international units recommended for women and the 3,000 international units recommended for men. Eat chicken liver on an occasional basis to prevent taking in too much vitamin A, which can inhibit your body’s ability to properly absorb vitamin D.
