Brain Pepper Fry

During my school days the cooking at home was very elaborate. One of my delicacies my mother used to make was brain roast. It used to melt in my mouth. We used to have it with rice and two more side dishes. Though I didn't try it out after my marriage, after about 25 years I tried out the recipe. Though it didn't come as good as my mother's still it was very good. I am sharing my version of brain roast for all of you.
