About For the Adventurous Foodie
Tilli, or goat spleen, is a unique delicacy that isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy deep, iron-rich flavors, this is a must-try. I slow-cook it in a thick, spicy masala that balances the intensity of the meat perfectly. It pairs best with fresh roti, and it is honestly a dish you have to experience at least once to understand why it is a regional favorite.
Why try Tilli?
If you are an adventurous eater, Tilli (goat spleen) is one of the most rewarding dishes you can add to your rotation. It is a prized Cutchi Memon specialty known for its distinct, iron-rich taste and slightly firm texture. Because it is organ meat, it requires careful preparation to remove any gamey notes, which is exactly where my slow-cooking technique comes in.
I prepare the gravy using a blend of bold, traditional spices that cut through the richness of the spleen. It is not a dish you will typically find at standard restaurants because it requires patience and specific knowledge of the ingredients.
How to enjoy it
This gravy is designed to be scooped up with hot, buttery roti or even steamed rice. The masala is spicy and robust, so keep a side of raita or cooling yogurt handy if you prefer to balance the heat.
Freshness matters
Everything is prepared in my home kitchen. Since I prioritize fresh, locally sourced meat, I do not keep large batches sitting around. Please reach out a day or two in advance so I can plan the sourcing and the slow-cooking process to ensure the texture is spot on.
