• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 2 teaspoons Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Coconut milk (light)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 medium Potatoes, cubed
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the turmeric, coriander, cumin, garam masala, and curry powder. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices lightly.

Step 5

Add the goat meat to the pot, ensuring it is coated with the spice mixture. Cook until the meat is browned on all sides, approximately 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

After 1 hour, stir in the light coconut milk, tomato paste, sliced carrots, and cubed potatoes.

Step 8

Continue to simmer on low heat for an additional 50 minutes, or until the goat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 9

In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the chopped spinach and stir to combine.

Step 10

Season the curry with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Serve the curried goat hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
