Peshawari Siri Paye

KP

Peshawari Siri Paye is the pre-dawn breakfast of champions — beef or goat head and trotters slow-cooked for 6-8 hours in a broth so rich and gelatinous it sets like jelly when cold. In Peshawar, this is the meal that starts the day before fajr prayer, eaten with Peshawari naan in the amber light of old city shops. The broth IS the dish.
