Jaggery Goat Curry With Roti Recipe

Ingredients:

500g goat rib or shin, cut into equal chunks

350g of bone marrow

1 red onion (120g) chopped

20 curry leaves

6 large cloves garlic

50 g ginger

4 tsp ghee

10 cloves, 5 cardamon seeds and 1 tsp cumin pounded

1 cinnamon quill

1 cup coconut water (fresh coconut is best, but a good pack will do)

400ml coconut milk

400ml coconut cream

30g jaggery (can substitute with palm sugar)

2 tsp salt

4 tbsp roasted curry powder

2 tbsp roasted chilli powder

5 tbsp turmeric powder

Method:

In a deep pot, melt 2 teaspoons of ghee and get it hot. Brown the goat meat in batches, getting some good caramelisation until the fat is released into the ghee. Set meat aside.

To the same pot, add 2 teaspoons of ghee and melt. When hot, add the onions and start to cook down. When the onions start to wilt, add the curry leaves, garlic and ginger, then the spices. Fry for a minute, then add the coconut water. Cook down.

Add in the bone marrow and meat, then mix in the curry powder, chilli and turmeric powders. Combine well. Add in the coconut milk and allow to cook in the stock pot for 1 hour on a medium to low flame.

Add in the coconut cream and cook for a further 1.5 hours or until the goat meat is tender. Make sure you stir it from time to time to ensure no sticking on the bottom of the pot.

Once the curry has cooked through, remove from the heat and add in the jaggery – allow it to melt into the meat and gravy – stir to make sure the jaggery is fully incorporated.

Serve with hot basmati rice and roti
