Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion roughly cut
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • ½ inch piece ginger
  • 2-3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 to 1 1/3 lbs bone-in goat meat mutton
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 green chili pepper such as Serrano
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or more to taste
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 green bell pepper cubed
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2-1 tsp chaat masala
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Using the pulse setting, finely chop onion, garlic, and ginger in a food processor.
  • Select the Sauté - More/High setting on the Instant Pot. Once Hot, add the oil, ghee, and chopped onion mixture and sauté until the onion is lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes.
  • While the onions are cooking, pulse to finely chop the tomato and green chili pepper in the food processor and set aside.
  • Add the goat meat to the Instant Pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until it changes color.
  • Add the chopped tomato mixture, apple cider vinegar, salt, and turmeric powder. Mix well to combine and submerge the meat in the liquid as much as possible.
  • Press the Cancel button to turn off the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and set the pressure release to Sealing. Select the Meat/Stew Pressure Cook setting and set the timer for 25 minutes on High pressure. 
  • Once finished, use a tong or wooden spoon to move the Pressure Release to Venting to manually release the pressure.
  • Open the pot and select Sauté setting on More/High. Let the remaining moisture evaporate for about 5-6 minutes, then add the green bell pepper and sauté for another 5 minutes or until the curry cooks down and turns glossy. Stir only as necessary to allow the moisture to evaporate.
  • Press the cancel button to turn off the Instant Pot. Mix in the black pepper, chaat masala (if using) and lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt seasonings for spice and tartness. Serve with naan, paratha, roti, or rice.

Notes

The type of goat meat will affect the cooking time. If, after 25 minutes of pressure cooking, the goat meat is not yet cooked, cover and pressure cook again for 5 minutes.
