Add coriander powder, turmeric powder and salt to taste

Saute for a while in a medium flame

Add brain pieces into it.

Combine, cook it in a medium low flame until it is done.

(It takes less time to be done, as we prepare egg burji.)

Once it is done add pepper powder and chopped coriander mix together, turn off the flame.

Transfer the dish to a serving dish and Enjoy as an appetizer or as a side dish.

Note –

Mutton brain gets cooked in just 2 to 3 minutes and so never cook them for long. Also the best way to identify if the brain has cooked in and out is to see if the pinkish strands disappear, and the brain changes color from pink to white inside.

Adding more oil (4 spoons instead of 2 spoons) while preparation makes it taste good and even enhances the look, but its up to your choice.
