2 peppers green chile peppers, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece minced fresh ginger root
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
¾ teaspoon chili powder
2 ¼ cups water, divided, or as needed
freshly chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Wash goat meat well under cold running water and pat dry. Rub in salt and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Add enough water to cover the meat, about 2 cups.

  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Taste curry and adjust seasoning with salt and sugar to taste if necessary.
  • Check the goat to make sure it is tender. Add the potatoes and about 1/4 cup more water. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Adjust seasoning once more. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro.

2 pounds goat stew meat, cut into chunks
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground turmeric, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 small red onions, quartered
1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil
1 cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
2 whole star anise pods
4 cardamom pods
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
½ teaspoon whole cloves
2 tablespoons curry leaves, divided
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1 small tomato, diced
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground paprika
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Season goat meat with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, and black pepper.
  • Place red onions in a blender; grind into a smooth paste.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add cinnamon stick, star anise, and cardamom pods; cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add fennel and cloves; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon curry leaves; stir in the onion paste. Increase heat to medium-high.

  • Heat 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the remaining 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, garam masala, curry powder, and paprika until aromatic, about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Choose the right goat meat: Opt for fresh, young goat meat with a mild flavor and tender texture.
  • Marinate the goat meat: Marinating the goat meat in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs not only tenderizes it but also infuses it with rich flavors.
  • Use a variety of spices: Indian goat curry is known for its complex blend of spices. Some common spices used include cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: The spiciness of the curry can be customized to your preference. If you like it mild, use less chili powder. For a spicier curry, increase the amount of chili powder or add some chopped green chilies.
  • Cook the curry low and slow: Simmering the curry over low heat allows the flavors to develop and meld together. This also helps the goat meat become fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve with traditional accompaniments: Indian goat curry is typically served with rice, roti, or naan. It can also be accompanied by yogurt, chutney, and pickles.
