Notes
- Cleaning the brain – I make sure to rinse the brain well and remove the red veins gently. This step improves taste so try not to skip this.
- Gentle handling – Brain is very delicate, so handle it gently while mixing. Do not mash or break it too much.
- Low flame cooking – I usually cook this only in low flame. High flame will break the texture and spoil the dish.
- Do not overcook – Brain cooks very fast. Cooking longer will make it dry and grainy in texture.
- Stir less – Try not to stir often while cooking. Too much mixing will turn it mushy. Just toss gently once or twice.
- Water quantity – I add very little water while cooking masala. Too much water will make the fry loose and watery.
