Hi Esther,,,you are right brain should not be bolied,,coz its very soft,,adding whole masalas with onions and after it is dry..add garam masala powder ,braise another 2 mins and add few drops of lemon also..the peculiar smell will vanish. If you want to fry brain ,,then u boil it with ginger ,garlic paste ,and salt, but dont put water.after washing add this ingredients and keep on low heat ,tossing time to time till dry.

hi Esther,may be u prefer brain cooked in d curry but brain has a very peculiar smell n if we boil it in turmeric powder dat smells go away....my granny used to make brain cutlets n were an absolute hit!!!!

great dish ate it every week when we were kids. theres no need to boil the brain seperately just add it the curry and cook the brain absorbs the flavour of the methi and is just yummy.
