An affiliated market, just down the block, provides ready access to off-cuts.
On this occasion Kababish (kuh-Bah-beesh) was serving not only baby goat curry but also this baby goat liver (special, about $7). Though not nearly as forthright as luncheonette-style beef liver, even in the face of of vibrant South Asian seasoning its flavor was unmistakeable. Also shown: rice speckled with cumin seeds; a patty stuffed with turmeric-stained chicken (about $1.50); the snug premises by night. Unless you arrive at off-hours as I did, you're unlikely to snag one of the two stools.

Coriander seeds or Cumin seeds?

Coriander, said the counterman, added to the rice during cooking to add just a little flavor.

It's cumin seeds, Dave. Cumin and Corriander are almost always used with each other in a lot of South Asian cooking so maybe he just mixed up his spices. But that is most definitely "Jeera Rice" or rice with cumin.

Clearly I was working a very late night last night; of course it's cumin and not coriander. I've revised my post accordingly. Thanks to you both, Matt and parth.
