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

Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add diced tomatoes and green bell pepper; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Incorporate goat meat, stirring to coat with the mixture; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Season with coriander, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

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

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

Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to prevent drying out.

Once tender, stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve hot with rice or nshima.
