What is Goat Curry?
Whenever I make this slow cooker goat curry, I make sure to relish every bite of it. It disappears quickly around here. The sauce is full of flavor, and the meat, when cooked slow, becomes perfectly tender and juicy. If you haven’t had goat meat before, you’re in for a treat. Goat meat is prevalent in North India; it’s more popular than lamb or beef. My parents were both born in North India, and they ate goat meat once a week. Neither of them tried lamb until they moved to the States. Growing up, my mom cooked goat meat very often at our house. Unfortunately, I missed out on too many of those tasty meals. When I was younger, I’d turn my nose up at anything other than chicken breast. Oh, how times have changed (for the better). If you’ve never eaten goat meat, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s fairly similar to lamb or beef, and when cooked properly, it’s fantastic.
How to Make Goat Curry
When you make this goat curry recipe, add all of the ingredients listed below to your crockpot except for the tomatoes, water, and garam masala. You’ll add these three things an hour before serving. You don’t want to add any liquid to start because you want the onions to caramelize in the crockpot. It’ll make for a more tasty masala. Set the slow cooker on high for four hours, stirring every hour or so to make sure nothing burns. After four hours, you’ll add the final ingredients and let it all stew together for another hour or until the meat is falling apart. Serve it with my Plain Basmati Rice or use my Paleo Naan, or Paleo Roti to help you scoop up this deliciously spiced, melt-in-your-mouth goat meat curry. If you’re feeling adventurous, give this a try. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. For those who already eat and enjoy goat meat, I’d love it if you’d leave a comment letting others know why you like goat meat (and also what you think of my recipe!) 🙂 And I’m guessing that since you’ve read this far, you’re probably a fan of Indian food?
