  1. Dear Rita,

    My Mom even used to make Brain poro on special breakfast occasions.

    This Brain fry is the same as what my Bapaiji (Dad’s Mom) used to make as a side dish with Masoor.

    Noshir.

  8. Nice receipe…but if we want a little gravy adding chopped onions and tomatoes n sauté them with the spices n then add the bheja….nice to mop up with chapattis and bread.
