Instant Pot Jamaican Goat Curry

The Instant Pot Jamaican Goat Curry, is a good example of a unique fusion of cultures and modern convenience. Without any sacrifice in flavors the dish comes together quickly. Cooking goat meat on stove top can take hours sometimes and there is always the constant stirring. If you have a few minutes to brown the meat first and roast your potatoes separately , the dish is elevated to a more balanced and rounded off flavor. However you can totally just put everything in together, set it up and walk away.

 Jamaican Goat Curry Spices

 

I love the pungency of the all spice berries in the Jamaican goat curry along with the white peppers and a some hot chilles. Traditionally a scotch bonnet peppers are used in this curry, but I made do with some ground thai red chilli that my husband had brought in from Bangkok while on his travels. I think they worked well in this dish and if you can’t find the scotch bonnets, use any kind of hot pepper that you like.

The beauty of a curry always is that it is open for interpretation. You can substitute quite a few of the ingredients based on what’s available and what you personally like. I was really excited the whole month of August to make this Jamaican goat curry for Progressive Eats. I might have made quite a lot of this curry and saved it to eat later too.

      Hi Jeana,
      An Instant pot is a brand of electric pressure cooker. If you live in North America, you should be able to find one on amazon.com and in local stores.

  2. 5 stars
    Delicious! I added the potatoes in the pressure cooker from the beginning. I also added 3 large chopped carrots, and cooked it all for 30 minutes. It worked well to take out a step. I think next time a little less water would work well (making the gravy a little thicker).

      Hi Noelle,
      Glad you liked it. I also put in the potatoes in at the same time, sometimes. Esp When I serve this with bread. The extra starch from the potatoes makes the sauce thick.
      Yes, if you use carrots or any other veggies that have water content, you do want to use less water. Happy Cooking!! <3

  3. Approximately how much of your homemade spice is in the recipe? I have a Jamaican curry spice mix that I would like to use.

  4. I have an Instant Pot, but will admit that I’ve been too intimidated to use it. This looks like an amazing curry and you’re giving me the courage to finally lift that baby out of its box:) PS – Love your photos of spices. You make the elements of curry look so beautiful, each in its own right.

    1. I am the same. Ive had an instant pot for about 3 weeks and still have not used it. I want to use it, but feel a bit nervous for some reason.

  5. Goat is good stuff. Don’t often have it because I can’t get it at the supermarket — more a Mexican market item. But it’s wonderful. Love the idea of using it in curry — this looks SO flavorful. Thanks!

  6. This looks wonderful–I tried Jamaican goat for the first time a couple of years ago and thought it was wonderful.
    How have you been?
