Steps for Whole Bheja Fry

  • Carefully and gently remove the upper thin layer of the Whole brain. Wash it gently so that it remains whole and intact. Leaving small nerve can spoil your dish.
  • Take a small pan and add some water to it. Put the washed Whole Bheja in the pan and add some salt, turmeric powder and 2-3 pcs of Cardamom for aroma. Usually, some people don't like the smell of bheja and thus adding this will give a better aroma to it.
  • Remove the bheja when it is completely boiled and turns white.
  • Take another pan and heat the oil. Add Ginger Garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add salt, yogurt and turmeric powder. Mix it well and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.
  • Put small cuts in the boiled whole brain so that the mixture properly enters inside it.
  • Put the boiled whole bheja into the mixture and try to mix it gently so that the brain remains in shape. Cook for another 7-10 minutes.
  • Take an egg and beat it properly. Pour this egg on the whole bheja and slowly try to cover the bheja with beaten egg. Gently move it upside down so that the egg content gets cooked properly.
  • Your Spicy Green Whole Bheja Fry is ready to serve. Garnish it with Coriander leaves.
