Ingredients:

- 4 mutton trotters (paaya), cleaned

- 2 large onions, finely sliced

- 2 tomatoes, chopped

- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

- 2 green chilies, slit

- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

- 1 teaspoon coriander powder

- 1 teaspoon cumin powder

- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

- 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped

- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

- 6-8 cups water

- Salt to taste

- Lemon wedges for serving

- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Preparation Method:

1. Preparation of Mutton Paaya:

- Clean the mutton trotters thoroughly with water. It's essential to remove any hair and debris. You can also blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes to ensure they’re clean.

2. Cooking the Paaya:

- In a large pressure cooker, heat the ghee over medium heat.

- Add the sliced onions and cook until they turn golden brown.

- Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté until the raw smell disappears.

- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and pulpy.

- Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Stir well to combine the spices.

3. Combining Ingredients:

- Add the cleaned mutton trotters to the cooker. Mix well to coat the trotters with the spices.

- Pour in 6-8 cups of water, ensuring the trotters are completely submerged.

- Add salt to taste and bring the mixture to a boil.

4. Pressure Cooking:

- Close the pressure cooker with its lid and cook on high heat until you hear the first whistle.

- Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 45-50 minutes, ensuring the trotters become tender and the flavors meld together.

5. Finishing Touches:

- Once the cooking time is up, turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.

- Open the lid carefully, and add garam masala, fresh coriander leaves, and mint leaves. Mix well.

6. Serving:

- Serve the Hyderabadi Mutton Paaya Soup hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.

- Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over each serving for a tangy twist.

- Enjoy the soup with naan or steamed rice for a wholesome meal.
