are paya really helpful for fractured bone?
Yes Sam.
Yes Sam.
Hi must u add ginger garlic paste half whilst making the paya mix and half whilst seasoning???
@Hi, Navin. To clean paya, dip them in hot water and then with a sharp knife remove the hairs. Also with knife remove the hooves. On a stove burner burn out the fine hairs. Clean with a knife. Cut them in pieces with a butcher's knife. Wash paya in running water. At our place in Nagpur, India, the butcher charges a small fee and gives us cleaned paya so no sweat.
I LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO CLEAN PAYA
In Paya recipe what we get after cooking paya for 1 hour in pressure cooker is paya stock. We can use this paya stock for making paya soup. Thanks for visiting.

can u plz tell me d nutrition value of paya???????
Thanks ahmed for your appreciation.
thanks anty is gr8 recipies,,to much taisty,, thanks again
Hi Folks. Lately I have experienced that Paya get well cooked if I cook them on slow heat after first whistle for 1 hour. No need to cook them for a long time. So, I have made the necesary changes in the original recipe. Try this out folks.
this looks delicious...i was actually planning to do this tomorrow so i ll try this recipe...
Thanks yatin for your suggestion. I will try it.
Another great accompaniment for Paya (especially for the paya soup or a watered down version of the one given by Kulsum ji)is Idiyappam (a.k.a. Spring Hoppers) which is a healthy, fat-free alternative, made of steam cooked rice semiya/sevaiyan. "Idiyappam-Paya" is a highly popular combination along coastal Tamil Nadu(in South India), especially in the Muslim dominated areas and in Muslim-run restaurants.
A few seeds of black pepper added to the ghee along with the cumin and fenugreek seeds will render the Paya curry as a good remedy for cold, too! Try it out.
Thanks for visiting Girish.
Fandu, i cook home , once in a week, Tried this recipe , Its Fandu , Thanks Kulsum Aunty.
Hi Sudhakar. Paya Soup is a better option.

can u state the nutrition facts of this food. as i can not afford to buy goat/lamb meat but can have 1 leg each member a week. how much helpful this will be to maintain the body needs?
Thank you Nigel for the comments. I will be writing a hub on Mughlai style paya soup recipe. This will be on next sunday because at the moment I am too busy in my work. Sorry for the delay. Glad to know that your paya dish came out very well.
Dear Kulsum,
I made your paya curry twice, and loved it. If you have already hosted a recipe on paya soup(spicy maharashtrian style), could you please let me know where you have hosted it?
Best Regards
Nigel
Hi Vijay. Thank you for your comment. You can enjoy paya dish with Gakhar which is a Mughlai bread. Or you can even enjoy paya with plain boiled rice. You can read Gakhar recipe here...http://hubpages.com/_2a4n1n6yly5d0/hub/-Gakhar-A-S
Hi Kulsum, really nice to see this recipe .we have enjoyed its taste. but can you suggest the combination dish along with this( we tried along with a dish called IDLY which is famous in south india.
Vijay
Nigel, I am so happy to know that you liked the paya dish so much. Yes, I do have a paya soup recipe and I will make a hub on it. Do visit again. ThanQ.
Dear Kulsum ....Thanks. I made it yesterday and it came out just as it looks in the picture, and delicious. Since I did not have whole flour, I used corn flour. I also added a bit of my personal touch by using 7 curry leafs with the cumin seeds while sputtering. Else I followed your recipe to the T. Do you also have a paya soup recipe?
Hi Nigel. The water does not dry out while cooking paya for 2 hours on low heat in a pressure cooker. We add 1 1/2 litres of water before pressure cooking. It suffices. Add 2 tbspns of wheat flour to ghee (clarified butter) and fry it till a good smell comes out. Then add pre-cooked paya mix and boil. Wheat flour in paya recipe gives the paya curry a body and thickness so that while eating it does not leave the bread or runs out. Hope you liked the paya you cooked. Thanks for your comment.
Im presently cooking it. its on the fire. The picture looks delicious. Kulsum since you mentioned that you need to pressure cook it fo 2 hours , isnt there a chance of the water drying out. Also can u answer why wheat flour is to be added? should i pre-mix the wheat flour in water or just add 2 teaspoons of wheat flour to the fry ?
Thank you ManiMau for the comment. Try spluttering fenugreek seeds in hot oil whenever you use them in your recipes. And do not use lots of it.
Mrs. Mehmood, I LOVE paya.... and want to make this at home. My problem is whenever I use fenugreek seeds and sautee it in oil, they taste really bitter. What did I do wrong?
Thank you.
ManiMau

Thank you mahmud for trying and suggesting a new flavour for paya recipe. Here in India we call it "dhungarela khana". It means "smoked food". We place a burning wood coal on the food and pour clarified butter to it and place a cover on the food so that it becomes smoked. It tastes great.
ASAK, Kulsum ji I am from pakistan and in USA i have tried your reipie it did turned out great but I added another flavour to it ;) by burring payiaz in the oven trust me it turned out wonderfull BTW you in india you can burn them on coal fire IF u enjoy it do let me know anyway thanks for sucha wonderfil dish you have presented over internet life has become easy.
Khuda hafiz.

the dish sounds good. will try today. we cook in other ways to our taste in our country (Malaysia)
Hi, Hakeem Adul Mohammedji. For 12 payas one should use 2 to 2 1/2 tspns of salt. I prefer though that you use salt to taste in this dish. Thanks for stopping by.
Kulsum Ji you did not write how much salt to be used in Pay Dish.
Hi rateesh. This recipe is pretty high in proteins and calcium. I have no idea about the caloric value of this recipe but I presume it may be on a higher side. This preparation is good for convalescent patients who have had a surgery especially bone surgery. I will let you know about the caloric value as soon as I find it out. Thanks for visiting and have you tried out this preparation? If not than please do.
hi mam can u tell how many calories it consists?
Sandeep, thanks for the comment. We need to use spices for proper taste.

I found out recently that goat meat is the most widely eaten red meat in the world, but I have never seen any recipes for it till now. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, try this out flread45. I am sure you will like it.
I like goat meat
Yes, C.C.Riter. Lamb legs can work as well. Try this recipe. Its taste is pure heavenly. A unique dish to relish.
I guess lamb legs could work as well? we don't have goat here. I'd sure like to try it.
Yes. I just love paya. They have a unique heavenly taste. It has a very long cooking time though.
Trotters are the ankle and feet (hooves).
This sounds delicious. I will definately have to try it.
trotters mean "legs"?
paya is one the most famous dishes here......paya are own as " lamb or goat or cow trotters"
