Amritsari Paye

Trotters (goat or lamb feet) slow-cooked overnight in a spiced broth — the feet are blanched and scored, then simmered for eight to twelve hours with whole spices, onion, ginger, garlic, and a powerful masala of fennel, coriander, and dried red chilli until the collagen dissolves into a thick, gelatinous, intensely flavoured broth and the meat falls from the bone. Sold exclusively in the early morning hours from specialist shops in Amritsar's old city; considered one of the city's great cold-weather breakfasts, eaten with kulcha and washed down with chai.
