About Lamb paya

Lamb Paya is a flavorful South Asian dish traditionally enjoyed in Indian, Pakistani, and Afghan cuisines. Made from lamb trotters, it is slow-cooked with aromatic spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic, and garam masala, creating a rich, comforting broth. Often served with rice or naan, Paya is known for its gelatin-rich texture derived from the connective tissues and bones of the trotters. Nutritionally, it is a good source of collagen, which supports joint and skin health, and provides essential minerals like calcium and phosphorous for bone strength. However, it is also high in saturated fat, which may impact heart health if consumed excessively. The dish's intense flavor and nutrient profile make it a cherished comfort food, but moderation and pairing it with fresh vegetables can balance its indulgence for a more wholesome meal.
