Description
‘Paya’ is an Urdu word that means mutton trotter or foot. Paya curry is not something that is included in our daily curries. It is considered as traditional food, cooked especially during festivals and huge gatherings. Special care is taken while cleaning the trotters in order to eliminate any unpleasant smell. A special blend of spices is also added to make the curry extremely flavorful and delicious.
