Maghaz (Hindi: मग़ज़, Urdu: مغز, Bengali: মগজ^[1]), also known as Bheja (Hindi: भेजा, Urdu: بھیجا‎),^[2] 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 the Hyderabadi cuisine of India, maghaz masala (bheja 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.^[3] Almonds and pistachios are often added.
