Bheja fry is a classic recipe made with Goat brain. This lamb recipe basically involves scrambling or in Cubes the brain is marinated with spices and then Panfried

Every animal (cow, pig, hen) has a distinct taste, obviously. But it is interesting to know that within each animal too, the cut, the style of cooking and the part of the body also contribute majorly to the overall taste.

Similar is the case with the bheja fry (or brain curry). The dish may sound odd for first-timers but connoisseurs vouch for a nicely done rich bheja fry – both gravy and dry. The end result is similar to keema but more on the fatty and heavy side. Here’s an excellent recipe for a delicious Bheja Fry In Green Masala to try at home.
