Method
Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.
Tips
Control the heat: remove the chilli seeds for mild, keep them for medium, add a pinch of chilli flakes at the end for hot. Get ahead: most of the prep can be done the night before, and the dish is often better reheated the next day.
About Paya
Paya, which translates to 'feet' in English, is a traditional South Asian dish. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, it is a popu lar breakfast dish in Pakistan and is considered a delicacy. This dish was a staple of the diet during the Mughal Empire, where it was often served for royal banquets. The marrow in the bones is said to offer many health benefits, and Paya is often consumed in the win ter months for its warming properties. This dish is cooked slowly, often overnight, to extract the rich flavors from the bone marrow. It is typically eaten with naan or rice.
