Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 2 ½ cups vegetable broth

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine goat meat, chile pepper, curry powder, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend, 1 hour to overnight.

Step 2

Remove goat meat mixture from bowl and pat dry, reserving marinade. Heat vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook meat in batches, browning on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer meat to a plate. Add onion and celery to the stockpot; cook and stir until onion begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.

Step 3

Stir browned goat meat into onion mixture. Add reserved marinade, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Stir in potatoes; simmer until potatoes and meat are tender, 35 to 45 minutes more.

Step 4

Remove stockpot from heat, skim off surface fat, and remove bay leaf.
