Maghaz, also known as bheja, is an offal dish from the Indian subcontinent that is popular in Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian cooking. The main ingredient is the brain of a cow, goat or sheep, which is cooked and served in a gravy. In the Hyderabadi cooking of India the dish appears as maghaz masala, also called bheja fry, a deep fried goat brain treated as a delicacy. In Bangladesh a popular version called mogoz bhuna uses cattle, sheep or goat brain sauteed in hot spices, and almonds and pistachios are often added to enrich it. The name is written in Hindi, Urdu and Bengali scripts, which shows how widely the dish is shared across the region.
