Sambal Goreng Ati (Fried Liver Sambal)

The liver is first marinated with a blend of aromatic spices such as turmeric, coriander, and cumin, which adds a delicate depth of flavor to the dish. It is then pan-fried until golden brown, resulting in a crispy exterior while retaining its moistness on the inside. The sambal sauce, made from a fiery blend of chili peppers, shallots, garlic, and shrimp paste, is the star of the show. It lends a rich and spicy kick that complements the richness of the liver perfectly.
