We were so blessed to have met one of our talented chef & restaurateur clients from Chennai, South India.

He makes such amazing South Indian food. He totally blew me away with the most simple yet delicious Dosa.

Because of him, I fell in love with Mango Lassi, super tender and moist Nepalese Chicken 65 paired with house-made tamarind sauce & chutney. Oh, of course Masala Dosa and Vindaloo Dosa…I need one now!!

Before working with him, Indian food to me was just butter chicken, samosas, tandoori, naan, or curries. We didn’t know how much we were missing out!

Indian food is full of exciting spices, aromatic herbs, and chilies. It has a lot of complexity and depths of flavors and fragrances. There’s still so much more Indian food for us to explore!!

We love eating lamb, so when we saw a bag of “bone-in goat meat (shoulder) for stewing” sitting right next to where we usually buy our lamb. We immediately jumped on it.

Time for some Pressure Cooker Goat Curry!

Why Eat Goat?

Goat meat is somewhat a healthier and more flavorful version of lamb as it contains less cholesterol, fat, and protein than lamb (and beef too).

In fact, it actually has similar amount of protein as chicken breast! 🙂

Tips for Indian Pressure Cooker Curry Goat Recipe

1. Pressure Cooker Goat Curry Cooking Time

Here are the super brief conclusions from our testings. Choose the cooking time depending on how much chew you like the goat meat to have.

  • High Pressure for 35 minutes, then Natural Release: the goat meat is moist, flavorful, and have some chew.
  • High Pressure for 40 minutes, then Natural Release: the goat meat is moist, flavorful, and very tender.

The cooking time and release method makes a huge difference on the goat meat’s result. If it’s done incorrectly, the goat meat will be very tough and dry.

*Pro Tip: You don’t need to change the cooking time if you’re using thawed goat shoulder.

2. High Quality Curry Powder

Please use a high quality blend of curry powder as it’s the heart and soul of this dish. We bought ours in our local “Indian town”. But if you couldn’t find any curry powder, you can make your own from scratch.

Ingredients for a very basic curry powder made from scratch

3. Adjust Your Preferred Spiciness

Our pressure cooker curry goat recipe is only mildly spicy. So, if you like your curries hot or very hot, adjust the spiciness by using ½ teaspoon (or more) Indian chili powder. Be cautious and don’t burn your throat as Indian chili powder is very hot.

4. Make More Rice or Naan!

We ran out of rice soooo quickly as we were scooping the goat curry one spoonful after another.

So remember to make more rice than usual! 😉

Notes

Potatoes: We used potatoes as a natural thickener to thicken the pressure cooker curry sauce.
Spiciness: Our pressure cooker curry goat recipe is mildly spicy. If you like it hot or very hot, use ½ teaspoon (or more) of Indian chili pepper instead. Be cautious of the amount as Indian chili pepper is very hot.
