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.
