Paya is a very popular soup in Bangladesh, Pakistan and India prepared from beef or goat legs. Cooking the beef or mutton legs, a.k.a. paya, slowly turns the meat into soft as cotton. The taste of this soup is divine and the meat, marrow and fat from the legs melt in your mouth. I love the soup as is or with paratha. You can serve with naan or any other bread as well.The key to good Paya soup is the initial simmering. If you have a pressure cooker, or instant pot you will reduce cooking time by couple of hours. Without a pressure cooker, simmer for 3-4 hours with all the spices. Even though the preparation time is lengthy, the prepared dish is well worth it.
Wash and clean trotters well, remove any hair. In a large saucepan (that can hold 5 pounds of cooked rice), add trotters, 2 whole garlic bulbs, and enough water to cover them. Boil on medium heat for about 5 to 6 hours. During this process if you see that water is not enough and trotters are not yet absolutely tender, add in some more boiling water (do not put cold water.)When trotters become tender and about 4 or 5 cups of soup is left, remove from heat. Discard all big bones; before discarding remove all soft geletine and bone marrow. Set this and small bones aside, strain all of the soup through a fine sieve.Put banaspati or oil in the same pan and fry onions until brown on medium heat. Remove onions only from oil and grind them. Mix onion paste, plain yogurt, salt, and all dry spices, put them into the saucepan containing the banaspati.
