Gurda masala is a quick-cooking Indian offal dish made with lamb kidneys in a tomato base cooked with turmeric, ginger and garam masala. Because kidneys cook quickly, this recipe takes less than 30 minutes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the onion and ginger

8 min

Heat the cooking oil and sauté the onion, crushed garlic cloves and grated ginger for 8 minutes, until softened.

2

Build the spiced tomato base

5 min

Add the turmeric, cumin and red chili, then cook with the grated tomato for 5 minutes, until the oil separates.

3

Add the kidneys

10 min

Add the chopped kidneys and salt. Cook for just 10 minutes so they do not become tough.

4

Serve

2 min

Remove from the heat, scatter the fresh cilantro over the top and serve.

Reminder

Do not cook the kidneys for too long; they can become rubbery if cooked for more than 10 minutes. The cooked masala can be frozen; once thawed, reheat it for only a few minutes.
