वृक्क


Explanation:
गुर्दा as suggested by the others is correct and commonly used.

Kidneys are also known as वृक्क in Hindi. This is a Sanskritised equivalent of the term.

This term, i.e., वृक्क, is particularly used in medical jargon.

I am just mentioning it for the sake of completeness. In your case as the context is culinary/cooking, गुर्दा is a much better option.
