mustard oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Olive oil is healthier while vegetable oil is more economical.

Heat mustard oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced ginger and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies; cook until tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Mix in cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric, and salt; cook for 2 minutes to bloom spices.

Add goat meat, stirring to coat in the spice mixture; cook for 5 minutes.

Pour in enough water to cover the meat; add bay leaves and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until meat is tender, about 1.5-2 hours.

Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to prevent sticking.

Once tender, adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Stir in fresh cilantro and lemon juice before serving.

Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
