Savour the flavours of this hearty and rustic dish this season

What is winter without the customary bowl of Paya for any carnivore? Warm and delightful, this protein-rich dish, made with slow-cooked lamb trotters, garlic, ginger and other spices, is nourishing and satiating this season. A bowl of thick Paya Soup or Stew, can be a meal in itself and gives you the requisite warmth too. Delightful to the palate of carnivores, not too many restaurants serve this delicacy, but the ones who do, make a mouth-watering one. My top 5 places for this soup across the city:

Punjab Grill, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Western Suburbs

Known for its robust North Indian food, Punjab Grill serves one of the best paya soups in Mumbai. Infused with saffron and ginger and served with a kulcha, this flavourful Mutton Paya Shorba here, is an unparalleled treat. The flavours are well-balanced and the spices add the right zest. Creamy, yet light in texture, this bowl of soup leaves you satisfied immediately.
