It is basically a classic spread made by sautéing chicken livers, caramelized onions, and hard-boiled eggs, then grinding them together. Use chicken fat or oil instead of butter to keep it traditional.

Actually yaar, you need to fry plenty of onions in oil first until they are brown, then cook the chicken liver in the same pan. Grind it rough with boiled eggs, salt, and black pepper.

I have never cooked liver before and am a bit hesitant. Does it have a very strong smell, and is there a way to clean it properly before cooking?

I barely have the energy to boil an egg right now, let alone chop liver. But yes, frying onions, liver, and eggs together and mashing them is the standard way to do it.

Clean the chicken livers thoroughly and cook them completely until there is no pink left inside to avoid foodborne infections. It is a highly nutritious dish packed with iron and vitamin A.

Liver is incredibly high in protein and micronutrients like B12. Just watch the amount of cooking oil or fat you use to keep it healthy for your heart.

You can easily make this at home with fresh chicken liver, onions, and eggs. Sautéing them well makes it very flavorful and smooth.

Eating fresh and wholesome food is very grounding. If you consume meat, ensure the liver is sourced fresh and cooked with simple, natural spices to keep it easy on digestion.

When my foreign colleague made this for us, he used plenty of slowly caramelized onions which gave it a sweet taste. It pairs really well with simple crackers or toast.

No need for fancy tools, just use a normal food processor or even a heavy knife to mash the cooked liver, boiled eggs, and fried onions together.
