Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Absolutely! While goat is traditional, you can substitute it with lamb or beef for a similar flavor profile. Chicken thighs can also work well, but adjust the cooking time as they will require less time to become tender.
Is this recipe suitable for freezing?
Yes, this curry freezes well. Cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container. It can be stored for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as instructed.
How can I make this curry less spicy?
To reduce the spice level, you can decrease the amount of curry powder and avoid adding any additional chili peppers. Adding more milk or a dollop of yogurt when serving can also help mellow the heat while adding creaminess.
