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.
