Season the goat meat with all-purpose seasoning, salt, and curry powder (about 2 tablespoons).

Mix the seasonings into the goat meat thoroughly and let it marinate for 24 hours for best flavor.

Heat about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pot over low heat and add some curry powder to sizzle it lightly.

Add the seasoned goat meat to the pot and stir to sear it, ensuring it doesn't stick to the pot, for about 3-5 minutes.

Cover the pot and let the goat meat cook for about 10 minutes to allow natural juices to come out.

After 10 minutes, add enough hot water to cover the meat, stirring gently to incorporate.

Cover the pot again and let it cook for about an hour until the meat is tender.

After an hour, check the meat for tenderness by testing a few pieces.

Add grated ginger, garlic, pimento, onion, sweet pepper, and thyme to the pot, stirring to combine.

Cover the pot and cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and flavors to meld.

Add black pepper and stir well.

Add carrot to the pot and cover for an additional 5-6 minutes, ensuring not to overcook the carrot.

Stir and taste to adjust seasoning as needed.
