Goat Curry -A quick and easy recipe

Posted on | February 14, 2007 | 16 Comments |

This is my short-cut way of making goat curry, it really looks and tastes like it took some time and effort to make, but it is too darn easy! The best thing I like about this recipe is that there is no grinding involved, no mixer jars to clean, but the gravy still has that nice thick texture. I use the store bought ginger paste and garlic paste, but if you don’t have the pastes, chop up some ginger and garlic real small, you don’t have to grind those. The idea is to keep the recipe simple.

Ingredients

2 lb Goat
1 1/2 Red Onions, diced
2 Tomatoes, diced
1 tbsp Ginger paste
1 tbsp Garlic paste
2 tbsp Yogurt
2 tbsp Red chili powder
4 tbsp Coriander powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Garam masala
1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
salt for taste
5 Cardamom pods
1 Star anise
1/2 Red onion, sliced
5 Green chilies, slit
a few Curry leaves
2 tbsp oil

METHOD

Cut goat into small pieces. Combine the goat pieces, the diced onions, tomatoes and ingredients 3 to 12 in a pressure cooker. Add half a cup of water and cook for 6-8 minutes in the cooker after the first whistle.

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Add cardamom and star anise and stir for 30 seconds. Add the sliced onions and green chilies and curry leaves to the pan and saute for a while. Remove the goat pieces from the gravy using a slotted spoon and add to the pan. Fry the goat pieces till brown. Now add the gravy from the pressure cooker to the pan, delicious goat curry is ready.

I tried your Goat Curry. It was awesome. Only difference is that the Goat wasn’t really cooked after 3 minutes so I had to give 2 whistles more. I think cooking time varies from place to Place & Goat to Goat.
Overall, a very Easy & Tasy Treat!

Thanks Randeep… I think I made a mistake while typing the recipe, you are right, 3 minutes won’t cut it. I normally cook for 6-8 minutes…. I will update the post, thanks for pointing it out… and I am glad you loved the recipe…

Thanks for the recipe, I want to try this one out. But I don’t have a pressure cooker, is it ok to just do the first part in a normal pot? If so how long should I cook it and should I put more water?

Hi JD, sure you can do this in a normal pot. You should pour enough water to cover the muttom and cook covered with a tight lid for about 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness and cook further if needed. After the mutton is soft, follow the second part of the recipe. Hope this helps

You’re right about the Sydney Goat. I put it in a pressure cooker 2 weeka go and 3 whistles later I had goat paste.
I just tried your recipe, doesn’t look nearly as good as your picture, but it smells divine. I will post a follow up on the final result later this evening. Cheers all!

Hi there..I stumbled upon this site looking for some easy curry recipes and I am happy to report that I found them! I tried this last night and it turned out great (and this was the easiest goat curry recipe I’ve tried). Ofcourse, there was issues with the pressure cooker (I needed to go up to 6 whistles!), but the base recipe was outstanding. Thanks so much and I plan to check in a lot more often:)

When you say tbs, do you mean a regular table-spoon (15 ml) measure?
I wanted to confirm before I made it too spicy. Thank you.
