Fusion Spiced Kidneys

Ingredients

In this fusion adaptation, we infuse the traditional English devilled kidneys with a variety of spices and flavors from different cuisines. The original dish typically uses Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and cayenne pepper for its signature flavor. However, in this fusion version, we incorporate spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder to create a more diverse and exciting taste profile. Additionally, we introduce ingredients such as ginger, garlic, and lime juice to add a touch of freshness and tanginess.
