Ingredients
  

For Tenderizing:

  • 6 mutton legs/paya/lamb trotters
  • salt - to taste
  • 1 small piece of peeled ginger
  • 5-6 black pepper corns
  • 3 glasses of water (approximately)

Other Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 medium sized sliced onions
  • 2-3 slit green chillies
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 2 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chick pea flour

Instructions
 

For tenderizing:

  • Firstly, wash the pieces of lamb legs/mutton paya very well with wheat flour and water for about 5-6 times.
  • In a pressure cooker add the washed lamb legs, add salt, add black pepper corns, add ginger.
  • Add for about 3 glasses of water and pressure cook them on high flame for about 40-45 minutes.
  • The step of pressure cooking the legs is very important as the complete juices need to be extracted.
  • Once done reduce the steam and put it aside.

For Making The Soup:

  • In a cooking vessel, add oil and heat it.
  • Add the sliced onions and fry them till translucent.
  • Also add slit green chillies into it.
  • Add ginger paste into it and saute for few minutes.
  • Transfer the tenderized lamb legs and its extract into it.
  • Add little water if required.
  • Check for salt taste and add if required.
  • Add coriander and mint leaves.
  • Add black pepper corn powder.
  • In a small bowl, add besan and mix it with some water and make a thin paste.
  • Add the besan paste/chick pea flour paste into the stew/soup and stir well.
  • Cover the lid.
  • Bring the whole soup to a boil.
  • Boil it for about 10-15 minutes on medium flame to sim flame.
  • Switch off the flame.
  • Serve hot with naan or roti.

Notes

  • If there is no water remaining after tenderizing, then add water at the time of boiling or cooking on sim flame.
  • Wheat flour paste can be added in place of besan/chick pea flour paste.
  • Rice flour paste (rice flour mixed in little water, made into a thin paste by stirring well) too can be added into the soup to get a slight thick consistency.
  • If one do not wish to add any of these flour paste then just skip adding any of these flour paste into the soup and drink plain soup.
  • Spices such as bay leaf and cinnamon stick can be added for more spicy flavor while tenderizing.
