Goan Goat Curry Recipe

Goan goat curry, also known as mutton xacuti, tastes best for a lazy weekend lunch. Always buy the freshest meat from your local butcher for the best taste. You may prep the curry masala in advance. The recipe for the masala can be found at this link.

I make the Goan curry masala in bulk and freeze it in small batches. My masala lasts for a couple of months and I use it in a variety of dishes – both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. You can make usal, vegetable curries, crab curry, chicken curry, mutton curry; the list is endless. If you have the masala already prepared, this curry with goat will take very little time and effort to make. The cook time depends on how good the meat is but it can be prepared in about an hour. Tender meat will cook in about 20 minutes.

You can pair the curry with rice, roti, delicious laadi pav or any bread of your choice. I personally prefer the homemade laadi pav. Slice some onions and cucumbers or make a small salad on the side. This meal will make your day. A wedge of lemon will help bring the heat down.
