GOAT BRAIN PEPPER FRY

Ingredients
Goat Brain – 1 Pound
Green Chilli (small spicy ones) sliced lengthwise – 6
Tomatoes diced – 1 large or 2 small
Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
Black Pepper Powder – 6 teaspoon
Ginger finely chopped or paste - 2 teaspoon
Curry leaves - a few
Water – 1 cup
Salt to taste
Cooking oil – 5 tablespoons

Preparation
• Wash the goat brain and cut into medium sized pieces
• Pour the oil into a frying pan on medium flame, when hot put the turmeric powder.
• When the turmeric powder turns dark (don’t let it get brown) add ginger, green chilli and curry leaves and stir for 2-3 minutes
• Add tomatoes and salt (the salt seems to make the tomato into a paste faster) and cook till the tomatoes completely become a paste
• Add the goat brain and water, bring to a boil and then cook on medium-low until the gravy becomes thick.
• After that add some more oil and turn the contents over carefully a few times. The dish is done when oil separates from the gravy. If you like it well-done, cook for some more time taking care to turn it over so it doesn’t get burnt.
• Remove from fire and serve warm.

Notes
• You can get got brain from local halal meat shops.
• If you buy frozen brain, it is easier to cut it when partially thawed
• If you like the pieces to be intact, turn over the contents while cooking. Otherwise you can stir.
• Squeeze some lime on the dish before eating if you like it that way
