Paya broth recipe 

Ingredients

• 4-6 goat trotters (paya) – cleaned well
• 1 roughly chopped onion
• 1 tbsp crushed ginger 
• 1 tbsp crushed garlic 
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp whole or crushed black pepper 
• Salt to taste
• 6-7 cups of water
• Optional: 1 bay leaf, small cinnamon sticks and a few coriander stalks

Method

1. Boil the trotters in water for 5 minutes. Discard water, rinse the paya again to remove scum/odors.

2. In a large pot, add blanched paya, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, pepper, salt, and water. Add optional whole spices if using.

3. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on the lowest heat for 4–5 hours. Top up water if needed. The broth should be rich, slightly gelatinous, and aromatic.

4. Once done, strain the liquid into a clean bowl. Discard solids or keep meat if you want to use it separately.

5. Let the broth cool completely. Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze.

On a concluding note, Palak Nagpal shares, “Paya broth is rich in collagen, amino acids and minerals that support gut health, joint and cartilage repair, bone strength, post-workout recovery and immune function. It's a natural, time-tested remedy for overall healing and resilience.”
