Peegudhu is a classic Sri Lankan dish featuring tender liver simmered in a rich, spiced coconut milk sauce. The liver is pre-cooked with vinegar to ensure tenderness and remove strong odors, then marinated in a blend of cumin, coriander, fennel, and paprika. Aromatics like lemongrass, curry leaves, and garlic are fried in oil to create a fragrant base. This hearty curry pairs beautifully with steamed rice or roti.
