Easy Goat Curry

My mother always said: “When using dry-powder masala, always make a paste with water before using. Also, only add salt at the last moment.” Unfortunately, I always forget about this and sometimes make food without salt.

I used a pressure-cooker for this dish.

Ingredients:

• · 500g goat meat
• · 2 – 3 small onions, chopped
• · 3 green chillies
• · 3 – 4 cardamoms
• · 4 – 5 cloves
• · 3 – 4 bay leaves
• · 1 tsp jeera
• · 1 tsp turmeric powder
• · 1 Tbsp mustard paste
• · 1 Tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• · 1 Tbsp brown onion soup powder
• · 2 tsp olive oil
• · 1 big tomato, chopped
• · 1 big potato, washed and cut into 8 pieces
• · ½ cup yoghurt
• · 1 tsp sugar
• · 1 Tbsp mixed herb
• · Salt to taste

Method:

• · Wash, dry and cut the meat into small pieces
• · Mix the brown onion soup powder and yoghurt to form a paste.
• · Smear this paste onto the meat, and marinade for 30 minutes.
• · In your pressure-cooker, at medium temperature, pour the oil and add the green chilies, bay leaves, cardamoms, cloves and jeera. Fry for 2 – 3 minutes.
• · Add the chopped onions and fry them until they are light brown.
• · Add the goat meat, potatoes and tomatoes. Stir for 2 – 3 minutes.
• · Add the ginger-garlic paste and mustard paste so that it coats the meat. Stir well and be careful of burning.
• · Add all the remaining ingredients and continue to stir.
• · When you smell a nice aroma, add about a cup of water.
• · Finally close the pressure-cooker lid and wait for one whistle.
• · When the whistle blows, switch off your stove and wait until the cooker has cooled down before opening the lid
• · Serve with basmati rice or roti.
• · Good luck and God bless
