In this episode of Pasher Barir Ranna, Doma Wang, chef and founder of The Blue Poppy, the Tibetan restaurant that was originally housed in Sikkim House on Middleton Row in Kolkata, cooks her version of a dry chilli liver.

Like most of Doma di's recipes, this is non-fussy. Apart from the chicken liver, every other ingredient is most likely already in your pantry. Doma di uses chicken but this recipe can be cooked with any type of liver.

This is perfect with plain rice, or as Doma di recommends, with a thick buttered toast.

We're building a community

With Bong Eats adda we are trying to create a quiet corner on the internet for people who love nothing more than cooking and feeding people. The focus is naturally on Bengali and South Asian food, but as anyone who has spent time with food and its history knows, everything in food is interconnected. Nowhere is this more true than in Bengal, the melting point of so many cultures of the world—home to the first "global cuisine", as food historian Pritha Sen puts it. If that sounds like just the place you have been looking for, come help us build this space together. We are just getting started.
