Ingredients
Method
6 steps- 1Ask the butcher to singe and clean the trotters. At home, scrub them well, then boil in water with half the turmeric for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse.
- 2Heat oil in a large pressure cooker. Crackle the whole spices and pepper, then fry the onions until golden brown.
- 3Add ginger garlic paste and fry until fragrant. Add the trotters, remaining turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder and salt, and fry for 5 minutes.
- 4Pour in the water. Pressure cook on high to the first whistle, then on low for about 50 minutes. Turn off and let the pressure release naturally.
- 5Open and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes with green chilli and garam masala, skimming some of the oil from the top if you like.
- 6Serve hot with mint, coriander and lemon wedges, with naan, kulcha or sheermal.
