Paya is a rich Pakistani stew in which well-cleaned beef trotters are simmered long and slow with onion, garlic and ginger until the meat falls off the bone. A pressure cooker shortens the process, but the meat still needs to cook until it releases easily.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the trotters

10 min

Blanch the beef trotters in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water; this step removes the strong smell and scum.

2

Sauté the onion

15 min

Heat the oil in the pressure cooker and sauté the onion until deep golden, then add the garlic and ginger and cook for one more minute.

3

Season and pressure-cook

110 min

Stir in the red pepper, turmeric and cumin, add the trotters and bay leaf, then pour in the hot water. Seal the pressure cooker and simmer on low heat for 110 minutes.

4

Reduce and serve

10 min

Once the steam has released naturally, open the lid and simmer the stew for another 10 minutes on low heat until it thickens, then scatter over the fresh coriander and serve hot.

Reminder

Skipping the initial 5-minute blanch leaves the stew cloudy and strong-smelling, so do not miss that step. If the meat does not release from the bone easily, seal the pressure cooker and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes.
