Goat Spleen Stir-Fry / Manneral Vathakkal
Advertisement
Goat Spleen so called as Manneral or suvarvoti (suvar means wall, voti means sticking, when you throw on wall it sticks to the wall so the name: P ) in tamil, is prepared commonly among Tamilians, because of its health benefits. This Manneral boosts energy, helps in increasing the hemoglobin content and so my mom use to prepare this very often.
During childhood, my mom force to have this because of tis health benefits, but now I am ok with it. This dish tastes good, and the texture – Manneral has a little chewy texture, but melts in mouth (depends on the time spend for cooking). Let us move on to the recipe…
