Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450g goat meat, bone-in, cut into pieces
  • 2 cups gongura leaves finely chopped
  • 2 medium onions finely chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
  • 4 green chilies slit lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil vegetable or sunflower oil
  • 1 cup water adjust as needed
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Meat: Rinse the goat meat thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry and set aside.
  • Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot or pressure cooker. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
  • Add the Base Flavors: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant. Then, add tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes soften and release oil.
  • Spice it Up: Add turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Mix well, letting the spices bloom.
  • Cook the Meat: Add the goat meat to the pot, stirring to coat with the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes to seal in the flavors.
  • Simmer with Water: Pour in 1 cup of water, cover, and cook on low heat until the meat is tender. Alternatively, use a pressure cooker for faster cooking (4-5 whistles).
  • Incorporate Gongura Leaves: Once the meat is cooked, add the chopped gongura leaves. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the leaves are soft and fully blended into the curry.
  • Finish with Garam Masala: Stir in garam masala and adjust salt to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
