Remove excess fat from goat meat, taking about 30-45 minutes.

Rinse goat meat after fat removal.

Season goat meat with lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme, allspice, and curry powder; massage in and marinate overnight or up to 2 days.

Add diced onion, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper to marinated goat and mix.

Heat pot over high heat, add oil, and brown goat meat for 10-15 minutes.

Add fresh thyme and bay leaves to the pot.

Pour in about 3 quarts of water, reduce heat to low, and cover with a lid, leaving a small gap.

Stir every 30 minutes to prevent sticking.

After some time, add diced yukon gold potatoes and cook until tender.

Stir in ketchup to balance acidity before serving.
