Ingredients

• 1.5 kg Goat meat (bone-in, cut into pieces)
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 large Onions (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 cup Canned tomato puree
• 0.5 cup Yogurt (whisked)
• 2 tbsp Curry powder
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 tsp Red chili powder
• 1 tsp Garam masala
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 piece Cinnamon stick
• 4 pieces Cloves
• 3 pieces Green cardamom pods
• 2 cups Water (or goat broth)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 2 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, and green cardamom pods. Sauté for 1 minute until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 5

Add the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the curry powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.

Step 7

Add the goat meat and stir well to coat it with the spice mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat begins to brown.

Step 8

Whisk in the yogurt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent curdling.

Step 9

Pour in the water (or goat broth) and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 75 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the curry has thickened.

Step 11

Add garam masala and stir well. Cook for 5 more minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
