Goat Paya Stew

From almost all parts of the body of an animal, feet have the most flavor and goat feet in particular. In Pakistani cuisine, ‘paya’ (goat or beef feet) are used in a soupy curry that is scooped up with a naan or a roti.  There are endless variations to this so here is more of a rough guide on how to use the paya.
