Bengali Mete Chorchori (Mutton Liver side with Potato chunks)

Chorchori is a famous Bengali side dish. Chorchori is neither a fry nor a curry. This particular side dish is characterized by the cut of ingredients (be it vegetables or animal protein). In Bengali cuisine, there are dishes such as Chorchori, Dalna, Ghonto, Jhol, Jhal, etc where the cuts of veggies are completely different. Being said that, potato chunks used in Chorchori will always be different from the same used in Jhal. In this post, I will be sharing the recipes of Bengali Mete Chorchori.

Mete Chorchori!

Mete stands for Liver which can be Goat, lamb, etc or it can be Chicken Liver. I prefer to use Mutton Liver while making Mete Chorchori. If you prefer, you may use Chicken Liver as well. The recipe varies from family to family however, there are a few things that are for sure consistent. Cut of Mete and Potato will always be small square-shaped while making Chorchori. We mostly do use Onion, garlic, and ginger while making this dish. this is to suppress the smell of the Liver. I prefer using fresh liver while making this dish. This way the liver will not have an unwanted smell.

Are Mete Chorchori and Liver Curry or Liver fry the same?

The answer is "NO". Chorchori is a dry side dish where water is added to make the dish mushy while the Liver curry is a typical curry cooked with the liver. On the other hand liver fry is a stir-fry cooked with the liver.

Who makes better Mete Chorchori; Me or Maa?

According to my father, the Mete Chorchori I make is better than what my mother cooks. This is probably because Maa uses fewer spices while I prefer using spices a bit more while making this particular dish. You may skip Potato while making this dish. In fact, Maa does not use potatoes.  However, I prefer using potatoes. It makes the dish more palatable. This goes amazingly with steamed rice and even with Roti or Paratha.

This dish is what my father prefers to eat these days considering the low-calorie Liver is having. Baba loves mutton a lot however, he has restrictions on not having mutton. Mete Chorchori just works fine for him as it gives him a mutton-like flavor without compromising his health.
