Paya Curry
Paya Curry (Trotters Curry) is one of the most popular Dish in Lahore, Punjab. Phajjay Ke Paye are the most popular. Now You can cook this tasty delight at your home any part of the world.
I dedicate my most popular recipe to my friend Nasir Gulzar (late), The Son in Law of Barkhodaria Trust.
Nasir Gulzar Bhai brought cooked Paya Curry from his home to serve us at office, we were enjoying this wonderful curry, suddenly Nasir Gulzar Bhai informed us that he is feeling certain type of pain like kidney pain, we rushed him to emergency mediacal centre at Export Processing Zone with Hazrat Feroz Memon, after treatment he was not feeling well, he was then shifted to Liaquat National Hospital, where he was diagonized with some pancreas infectin, it was too late, he was expired in Hospital . I always pray for him , he was the Khalifa of Hazrat Moulana Hakim Muhammad Akhtar damat barkathum. May Allah fill his grave with lights(Noor).
