Traditional Paya Recipe:
Start with a classic Paya recipe that captures the essence of this beloved dish:
a. Ingredients:
Mutton Paya (trotters or shanks)
Aromatic spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves)
Onions, ginger, and garlic
Yogurt
Ghee or oil
Turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder
Fresh coriander leaves and lemon wedges for garnish
b. Preparation:
Clean and wash the mutton Paya thoroughly.
Heat ghee or oil in a pressure cooker or deep pan. Sauté onions, ginger, and garlic until golden brown.
Add the mutton Paya and cook until browned.
Add yogurt, spices, and salt. Mix well.
Pour enough water to cover the Paya and bring it to a boil.
If using a pressure cooker, cook for a few whistles until the Paya becomes tender. For stovetop cooking, simmer for 2-3 hours until the Paya is soft and the flavors have melded together.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with naan or rice. Squeeze a lemon wedge for an extra tangy kick.
