  • Remove this and keep aside
  • Back in the pot add the Paya or Trotters, Onion, Peppercorns, Cumin seeds, Ginger & Garlic paste, Coriander, Cumin & Turmeric powder Oil, Salt and Water, close the lid and set the pot to pressure cooker mode for 20 - 25 mins or 2-3 whistles if using a stove top pressure cooker
