CURRIED TROTTERS OR TROTTERS IN GRAVY - AN ANGLO-INDIAN DELICACY

CURRIED TROTTERS OR TROTTERS IN GRAVY

Mutton or Lamb Trotters are the Hoofs of the Goat or Sheep. (Paya in Hindi). The trotters(preferably the front ones) are usually slow cooked on low heat for hours (usually overnight) on the stove. However, the trotters are nowadays mostly cooked in a pressure cooker. In the olden days when people used wood or coal as a cooking fuel, women would start cooking this dish the night before and slow cook it on hot coals and embers until the morning when the Trotters would be tender and delicious with the meat falling off the bone. Trotters could be made into a delicious soup to be eaten with crusty bread at breakfast food in the winter months or as a delicious curry dish at lunch time with steamed white rice
