Tips & Tricks
This Goat Curry recipe yields about 4-6 servings, depending on the portion size.
Cooking times may vary based on the quantity and quality of the meat.
You can adjust the consistency of the gravy by adding less or more water.
You can adjust the chilli powder according to your taste.
I prefer mustard oil for this recipe as it gives the curry a nice colour and texture. You can also use any refined oil.
If you are using mustard oil, it should be first smoked hot and then cooled before adding any ingredients.
Ghee (clarified butter) is another good substitute for mustard oil, and cooking in ghee gives the curry a richer taste.
Cook low and slow: Cooking the Goat Curry over low heat will allow the flavours to develop and the meat to become tender.
