RecipeInstructions
For pressure cooking the meat:
  1. Add all the ingredients mentioned under 'Pressure cooking the meat' to the insert pot of the Instant Pot and stir to mix. Place the lid and turn valve to sealing position. Pressure cook for 15 minutes. Let pressure release naturally.
For cooking the curry:
  1. Take a large bottomed stainless steel pot and place on medium heat. Add the oil (or ghee) and when hot add the onions. Stir fry the onions for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until golden brown. Then add the ginger garlic paste and curry leaves and stir fry for another 30 seconds. Next add the salt, turmeric, coriander (if adding), cumin (if adding) and the garam masala. Stir fry for another 30 seconds and then add the nomato sauce. Stir to mix. Turn heat off.
  2. Once the meat has cooked and the Instant pot pressure has released, open the pot. Remove the whole spices with a spoon if you don't want to bite into them in your curry. Next take the curry sauce that you just made and add it into the Instant pot meat stew. Press 'Saute' button on the Instant pot and let simmer on low saute for about 7-10 minutes or until you get a thick curry sauce. Turn heat off.
  3. Serve goat curry with cassava rotis or with cauliflower rice or white rice.
