📝 Instructions

13 steps

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

12. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

13. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
