Ingredients

• 4 pieces goat trotters
• 8 cups water
• 1 large onion
• 5 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 inches ginger
• 2 pieces green chilies
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 1 inch cinnamon stick
• 3 pieces green cardamom pods
• 4 pieces cloves
• 0.5 cup plain yogurt
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons oil

Directions

Step 1

Clean and rinse the goat trotters thoroughly. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, add 8 cups of water and bring it to boil. Add the goat trotters to the pot.

Step 3

Peel and roughly chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Add them to the pot along with the green chilies, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, black peppercorns, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, and cloves.

Step 4

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and allow the trotters to cook for about 2 to 3 hours, or until soft and tender. Check occasionally to ensure there is enough water; you can add more if necessary.

Step 5

Once the trotters are tender, remove them from the heat and strain the stock. Keep the trotters and stock separate.

Step 6

In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the strained onions, garlic, and ginger mixture from the stock and sauté until they are lightly golden.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the plain yogurt, cooking for a couple of minutes. Return the trotters and strained stock to the pan and mix well.

Step 8

Simmer everything together for an additional 15 minutes to meld the flavors, adjusting the consistency with additional water if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a drizzle of lemon juice before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with low sodium bread or rice.
