1

Wash goat meat with lemon juice and water; let it sit for a while, then drain using a colander.

2

Heat vegetable oil in a pan.

3

Add curry powder, ground coriander, and ground cumin to the oil; stir to combine.

4

Gradually add water, one cup at a time, to create a smooth paste with the spices.

5

Add the goat meat to the curry base, ensuring it is evenly coated with the spices.

6

Add bay leaves, spring onion, crushed garlic, grated ginger, scotch bonnet pepper, and chopped white onion to the pan; mix well.

7

Add more water to just cover the goat meat; cover the pan with a lid.

8

Slow cook for about 2 hours, checking every 40 minutes.

9

After 30 minutes, add salt and a little sugar to the curry.

10

After cooking, check for doneness; the meat should be tender and the oil should separate from the sauce.

11

Finish by sprinkling chopped coriander on top before serving.
