Kaleji Seenkhs (Goat Liver Kebabs)

This simple dish can be made ahead of time and grilled quickly when you're ready to eat. It makes a great appetizer.

Ingredients:

• 20 Fresh Kaleji (Goat Liver) pieces cut into cubes
• 8-10 Raspberries or cherry tomatoes
• 3 medium onions (scale leaves separated and cut into 1" square pieces)
• 3 large capsicum cut into 1” square pieces
• 3-4 medium hard red tomatoes cut into 1”square pieces
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 tsp garlic paste
• 1 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tbsp green chili paste
• ½ tsp red chili powder
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method:

• Mix the yogurt with the chili powder, turmeric powder, green chili paste, ginger paste, garlic paste and salt. Whisk to get a smooth paste.
• Add the cubes of Kaleji (Liver) to this paste and coat well. Allow marinating for 4-5 hours.
• In a non-stick pan add 1 tbsp of oil and add only marinated Kaleji pieces (without marinade). Cook covered till Kaleji pieces are almost tender.
• On wooden barbecue skewers, alternate cubes of Kaleji with the onion squares, tomato squares and green bell peppers squares in a combination of your choice.
• Use raspberries or cherry tomatoes for the tips of the barbecue skewers.
• Grill on a barbecue or in the oven until the vegetables are soft as per your liking. I like crunchy half cooked vegetables.
• Garnish with lemon juice and serve.
