Put the trotters in a pot, cover with water, boil for 10 minutes, and drain.
Chop the onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger.
Fry the onions in oil for 8 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, tomato paste, coriander, cumin, and salt, and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the trotters and 7 cups of hot water to the pot.
Cook the paya over low heat for 3 hours, until the meat separates from the bone.
Add the tomatoes and garam masala, and boil for 20 more minutes.
Skim excess fat from the surface and serve paya with lavash and lemon.
💡 Tip: Rinse the trotters after the first boiling water; this step reduces heavy odor and leaves the spice sauce cleaner.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve paya hot in bowls with optional lavash, lemon, and finely chopped green pepper.
