Salt
Pilau Masala
Lime Juice

PREP

Clean GIZZARDS and cut into bite size chunks, remembering they'll shrink a bit.
Crush GARLIC and GINGER, chop fine and mix.
Crush CHILIS and mix with Salt and Pilau Masala.
Squeeze LIME JUICE (not lemon).

RUN

In a tightly covered sauté pan simmer Gizzards slowly, with just enough water to keep them from sticking to the pan. Simmer until tender - about 1-1/2 hours. Stir and check water often.
Boil out any remaining water, add Oil and fry stirring a minute or so, then stir in Garlic mix and fry stirring over moderate heat until garlic is fully cooked.
Stir in Masala Mix, then Lime Juice until well blended.
Serve as an appetizer with lime slices and plenty of beer.

NOTES:

Chili: Dry red Arbols or Thai chili are fine. If all you have is Japons use more. See my Chili Page for details.
