Sambal Goreng Hati - Liver with Chili Sauce

Sambal goreng hati is probably about the only liver dish that I love, and that is saying a lot given how I cannot stand other dishes where liver is involved. This dish is usually part of a celebration buffet in weddings or the Eid-al Fitr along with ketupat (Indonesian steamed rice cakes) and opor ayam.
