Pressure Cooker Curry Goat
Description
In this Pressure Cooker Curry Goat recipe, frozen goat shoulder is browned in olive oil with salt and black pepper, then removed. Aromatics including sliced onion, minced ginger, shallot, and garlic are sautéed, followed by the addition of curry powder, mild chili powder, tomato paste, and water or unsalted chicken stock. The mixture is cooked under pressure, allowing the goat meat to become tender in a well-spiced curry sauce. Quartered potatoes are included as a natural thickener that absorbs flavors and gives the sauce a richer texture. The spiciness level is mild, adjustable by increasing the chili powder but caution is advised due to its heat. This method produces a rich curry meal in less time than conventional slow-cooking, with meat infused by the blend of spices and aromatics.
