WHAT IS KALIJI?
Quick 30-Minute Mutton Kaleji (Liver Curry) is a mutton curry. It originated in Pakistan. This Pakistani dinner recipe has two steps, First, you have to soak in water, and other ingredients to get rid of all the blood within the liver. Second making the curry itself. It’s extremely popular during Eid al-Adha or Bakra Eid. Actually it’s one of the staple recipes for Eid-Ul-Adha like Mutton Korma, Mutton Biryani, and Mutton Pulao. This Pakistani recipe is very unique and extremely flavorful. I remember my Paternal Grand mother used to make fresh Kaleji Curry every Eid al-Adha.
WHAT PART OF KALEJI?
Kaleji, which is liver, is high in iron and Vitamin B12. When I was pregnant, my iron levels were extremely low, and the iron supplement I was taking caused constipation. My mother’s friend suggested that I eat two pieces of Kaleji every day instead of taking the supplement eating two pieces of Kaleji everyday helped raise my iron levels.
