- 2 slices of calfs liver, about 3/4 pound in all
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
- 1/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 good-sized onion (about 78 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch half rings
- 1 clove garlic, crushed to a pulp
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard (the commonly available yellow powder)
- 1 medium tomato, grated (page 289)
- 1 fresh hot green chili (such as birds-eye), chopped finely (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 12 teaspoons lemon juice
- Lay the liver slices down flat and rub 1/4 teaspoon salt, the turmeric, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper on both sides.
- Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
- (All the other ingredients may be prepared at this time.)
- Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil into a nonstick frying pan and set on medium-high heat.
- When hot, put in the liver slices.
- Cook the first side until browned, about 1 1/22 minutes.

- Remove to a serving dish and keep warm.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the frying pan, still set over medium-high heat.
- When hot, put in the cumin seeds.
- Ten seconds later, put in the onions.
- Stir a few times and lower heat to medium.
- Stir and fry the onions 68 minutes or until they have softened a bit and browned slightly on the edges.
- Add the garlic and stir a few times.
- Now put in the mustard, tomato, green chili, black pepper, lemon juice, and 1/41/3 teaspoon salt.
- Stir and cook for a minute.
- Pour this sauce on top of the liver slices and serve.
