This might freak out the vegetarians, be warned, but it’s one of my favourite dinners, and since our housemate Emrah made it tonight I couldn’t resist sharing. What you see above is breaded and fried chicken lungs with Turkish rice and fried potatoes. Chicken lungs taste pretty much like liver, so perhaps that doesn’t sound so freaky now. Normally I would say no to two starchy carbs in the same meal (not to mention bread on the side), but since I’ll be running later it’s okay.
This isn’t the healthiest meal in the world (salad was served on the side, does that count?), but we don’t do it very often, and I’m exercising a lot of portion control at the moment, so I don’t feel so bad about it. And anyway, anything that tastes this good has to be enjoyed without guilt.
Chicken lungs! Now that sounds something interesting to try … I am not sure if many restaurants around here in Bombay offer this – gotta check the menu carefully next time around. .. is it as soft as the liver and breasts ??

It’s almost exactly like liver, actually – very soft and very flavourful…. you might not be able to get it in a restaurant, but your local butcher should have livers and hearts for very cheap indeed, since they probably throw them away.
