Re: Help with Paaye…
lol
My mum cooks the best paye in the world and the top secret is that never put onion into paye because it gives the sweet taste. Use more garlic for example, if there are 2 cow paye , she uses one full garlic bulb or even more. Just use garlic and ginger. Never heard of yogurt being used in the payee.
Let me tell you the way my mum cooks
-Clean and wash the paye with warm water.
-Put in pressure cooker or other pot with ginger n one full garlic bulb if there are 2 cow paye.
-Add spices (red chilli, turmeric, salt)
-Add water and leave it ( we mostly cook in the night)
For tarka
-Make a paste of garlic n ginger with dried coriander.
-Heat the oil , add the above paste. When it turns brown, add only one tomato , add few green chillies when it is ready.
-Now add the paye , add some water
-Cook for 15 to 30 minutes
Garnish with green coriander and garam masala.
aw Lilly thanks for sharing however I know that a lot of onion in any dish can sweeten it so I use less onion with foods like Payaa and Nihari to maintain the original taste
