Kaleji rogan josh aur Hara Roti

Kaleji or goat liver is very high in iron content .  It has been recommended to me a number of times but after my pregnancy I had to take it more seriously.  I was a regular Red Cross blood donor but after I had my baby I could no longer donate blood.
When you go to donate blood for Red Cross they first check your blood for iron content and if it is less than a certain level they won't let you donate.  After I had my baby...after 1 yr and 2 and 3 yrs also my iron level wouldn't even register on their scale 😢
Anyway, if you are not a vegetarian and your iron levels are low do include liver in your diet and here is a yummy recipe
