Maghaz (Hindi: मग़ज़, Urdu: مغز, Bengali: মগজ, romanized: Mogoz, lit. 'brain'[1]) is an offal dish, originating from the Indian subcontinent, popular in Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Indian cuisine. It is the brain of a cow, goat or sheep served with gravy.
In Hyderabadi cuisine, maghaz masala (beja fry) is a deep fried goat's brain's delicacy. Mogoz bhuna is a popular dish in Bangladeshi cuisine, which is cattle or sheep/goat brain sautéed in hot spices.[2] Almonds and pistachios are often added.
