How to cook kidney?
I've heard kidney is very nutritious and wanted to try cooking it at home for the first time. I bought some from the butcher, but I'm not sure how to prepare it properly. Any basic cooking instructions?

Hey, don't stress too much about cooking kidney! Just clean it really well, chop it into small pieces, and cook it with onions, tomatoes, and some basic garam masala. It actually tastes amazing if you dry fry it.

I know cooking kidney (gurda) can feel really intense because of the strong smell during prep. I used to hate doing it, but soaking it in vinegar water for 20 minutes beforehand really helped ease my anxiety about the odor. It's okay to find it difficult at first.

I have been cooking gurda masala for my family for years. Always boil the kidney pieces in water with a pinch of turmeric for 5 minutes first, then discard that water. After that, cook it with your regular onion-tomato gravy for the best results.

Look, the trick is simple: you have to clean the white membrane inside the kidney properly or it will taste bad. Once cleaned, cook it on high heat with ginger-garlic paste and black pepper. Don't overcook it or it will become like rubber.

You don't need any fancy ingredients. Just clean the kidney, slice it thin, and cook it in a simple kadhai with onions, green chilies, and a bit of ginger-garlic paste. It cooks fast and makes a great side dish with rotis.
