Ingredients:
- 4-6 paya pieces
- Oil
- Cumin seeds
- 1 small piece of Raw Ginger
- Handful of Raw Garlic
- Saunf powder (Fennel seeds)
- Turmeric powder
- Salt
Process:
Start by cleaning the paya properly and keep it aside.
In a pressure cooker, take 1 tbsp oil.
Add a pinch of asafoetida and cumin
Add crushed ginger and garlic on top. Mix well.
Once the ginger garlic is brown, add the paya.
Roast on low flame for ten minutes and keep stirring in between.
After sometime, add turmeric (half spoon) and three spoons of saunf powder
Add salt on top.
At this point the paya will look dry because of the spices.
Don’t add oil as the paya will release fat.
Add 3 glasses of water on top
Pressure cook it on full for 10-15 whistles and on slow flame for another 10-15.
The whole process takes an hour to two. Paya bones need to be cooked well and the bones need to become soft.
Check once done. Pressure cook again if needed. Adjust spices if needed.
Add a pinch of garam masala on top and serve hot.
