ஆட்டு மூளை வறுவல் – Goat Brain Fry

Goat Brain fry is a spicy side dish made with goat brain. Goat brain contains omega three fatty acids and nutrients. These fatty acids are good for nerves system, protecting human brain and spinal cord. But one drawback is that it is high in fat. So remember to eat goat brain moderately only. Brain fry is my all time favorite. It is very famous in “Devagi mess”, located in our home town. Whenever I go there, I never miss to taste this awesome dish.
