Here’s the recipe for Super Richness filled Beef Paaye / Trotters;

Directions:

• Clean the beef trotters thoroughly, removing any hair or debris. 
• Rinse under cold water and set aside.
• In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. 
• Add cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves. 
• Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
• Add the chopped onions and cook until golden brown.
• Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until aromatic.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. 
• Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil begins to separate from the masala.
• Add the beef trotters to the pot, stirring well to coat them with the masala. 
• Cook for 10-15 minutes, ensuring the trotters are well-browned.
• Pour in enough water to cover the trotters (about 8-10 cups). 
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. 
• Cover and simmer for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally. 
• The longer the trotters simmer, the richer the broth will become.
• About an hour before serving, add the slit green chilies to the pot.
• Once the trotters are tender and the broth is rich and flavorful, remove from heat. 
• Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
• Serve hot with naan or steamed rice, accompanied by lemon wedges for an added zest.
