CHICKEN LIVER & GIZZARD IN SPICY GRAVY (MANGALOREAN STYLE)

I am making this dish after a very long time. Long back my mother-in-law would make it quite often as it is one of my hubby's favorite dish. The chicken Liver, gizzards,heart & eggs after cooking in a masala known as (Banna Manjal) was separated from the chicken meat along with the masala is simply awesome. (Banna Manjal) is nothing but the masala I have shared already in my blog ie Chicken sukka before adding coconut. I am sure you will agree with me after trying out this recipe.
Chicken Liver are high in protein and a rich store of folate, which is important for fertility. Gizzards are also high in protein & potassium and low in fat. Chicken liver is considered as the best source of iron.The intake also increases our haemoglobin count in a natural way.
