Method

Goat Curry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, mix the goat meat with turmeric, coriander, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Cook the Curry

    In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato and Goat

    Stir in the pureed tomato and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the marinated goat meat, stirring well to coat. Pour in the water, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 hours or until the goat is tender.

  4. 4

    Finish the Curry

    Once the meat is tender, stir in garam masala and chopped cilantro. Adjust salt to taste and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse basmati rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until rice is fluffy.

Dal

  1. 6

    Cook the Dal

    In a pot, combine red lentils, water, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until lentils are soft. In a separate pan, heat oil, add cumin seeds, and cook until fragrant. Pour over cooked dal and garnish with cilantro.

Assorted Side Dishes

  1. 7

    Prepare Side Dishes
