Gurda-Kaleji
South Asia — India (North India / Mughlai)
North India's most important named offal tradition. Kidney and liver rapidly stir-fried together with onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, green chilies, and garam masala. Found in street markets, Muslim neighborhoods, and Eid celebrations throughout the Mughlai belt.

Cultural context
Gurda-kaleji stalls are a defining feature of evening food culture in Delhi, Lucknow, Aligarh, and other historic Mughlai centers. Arguably the strongest kidney-based tradition in South Asia.
Preparation
Both organs cleaned separately. Liver and kidney stir-fried rapidly in hot oil to preserve tenderness. Onions, ginger-garlic paste, tomatoes, green chilies, coriander, and garam masala added. Finished with fresh coriander and lemon.
