Loading rating...

Paya, a cherished delicacy from South Asia, is the pinnacle of comfort food. Literally translating to 'feet' in Hindi and Urdu, Paya is a rich, flavorful stew made from goat trotters. This humble dish, simmered to perfection over slow heat, is known for its robust flavors and velvety texture, making it a favorite at festive occasions and family get-togethers. The trotters are slow-cooked in a medley of aromatic spices until the meat is tender and the broth is deeply imbued with the essence of the ingredients.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Goat trotters
4
Onions
2, finely chopped
Ginger paste
1 tablespoon
Garlic paste
1 tablespoon
Red chili powder
1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon
Coriander powder
2 teaspoons
Garam masala powder
1 teaspoon
Oil
3 tablespoons
Salt
to taste
Fresh coriander leaves
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly clean the goat trotters and place them in a pressure cooker with sufficient water. Pressure cook for approximately 30 minutes until they become tender.
  2. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn a golden brown.
  3. Add the ginger and garlic paste to the pan and sauté for a few more minutes until the raw smell disappears.
  4. Stir in the red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices evenly coat the onions.
  5. Add the boiled trotters to the pan, ensuring they're well coated with the spice mixture. Reduce the heat to low and allow the stew to simmer for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the stew from sticking to the pan.
  6. Once the stew has thickened to your desired consistency and the trotters are tender, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
