Notes

Jamaican Goat Curry Recipe Tips

Although you can use any curry powder you like I suggest you use a really good Jamaican Curry Powder.
Do brown the meat in small batches over high heat. Big batches cool down the pot making browning harder.
This Jamaican Curry Goat recipe has beans instead of the more commonly used potato. Simply omit the beans and add potato chunks in the last 20 mins of cooking.
