Mutton Liver Curry / Kaleji

Liver is also called 'kaleji' in Hindi. Mutton liver curry is a delicious and appetizing dish. This is also my son's favorite. My Mom used to make this at least twice a month during our childhood days. She always said, mutton liver is good for health. Mutton liver has lots of iron, protein and vitamin A. It is quite simple, quick and easy to make too.
