You seem to have a bit of a passion for Jamaican foods. Be interesting to see your take on the slightly more obscure (but possibly more delicious) ‘Fifth quarter’ dishes like Cows foot soup/ Tripe/Souse(Hot or cold)/Black pudding/Pigstail Bouillion. etc.
All of which were staples growing up as a South London kid in the 60′s & 70′s and absolutely delicious.

Always leave aside a bit of your seaonings to add near the end of cooking. This helps to intensify the flavours. Also best to use a bit of real ginger vs powdered. Last trick is to mix 2 or 3 differnt curry powders together to give a very complex flavour. I mix the Jamaican country style curry with the jamaican oriental spicy and sometimes the trinidadian Chief curry. Its a lot of curry so i give some to friends and family.

I’ve been meaning to make this since it was posted – and when I found goat on sale at our local market I finally had the chance. It was truly delicious. Thanks for a great recipe.

We do a very similar recipe in our pub, the Queens Head in Burnham on Crouch in Essex and our customers love it.

Chris and Gary – I know what you mean. It’s funny because I’ve been reflecting on this the past few days and I think another attempt is on the cards. This was good but now Iook back I think it could definitely do with some improvement. I often find the takeaway versions a lot sweeter too. Maybe that could be worth a try – adding some sugar?

theres always a certain taste thats left out after i cook this dish,i just cant put my finger on it.it just doesnt have that special flavour that all the other take aways have.,something simple, something secret,time and patients perhaps i dont know..but, i sure have a good time trying.

Though simple enough on paper a good curry goat is not easily achieved. Been trying for years and I still can’t come close to my mom’s. Same can be said for my sister, she tries, but the taste is not the same. BTW, did you know that curry goat differs from island to island in the Caribbean. Try a Jamaican version as compared to one cooked from someone from Trinidad and Tobago and you’ll see what I mean.

Thanks for sharing.

Yum -really like spiced or curried goat. There’s a good halal butcher in Tooting that always has good goat meat – will only sell you mutton if that’s what you ask for! Another good side dish is sweet potato roasted with ginger, chilli and garlic, and possibly an allspice berry or two.
