Instant Pot Malabar Goat Pepper Fry

One of my preferred recipes is this goat pepper fry! It's a dish I frequently serve to guests, and they consistently praise its deliciousness. This preparation features dry goat, where the meat is coated in a rich masala sauce rather than being immersed in curry. The goat meat turns out incredibly tender, and the array of spices adds a burst of flavorful goodness.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil divided
  • 2 onions diced
  • 1-2 Serrano pepper or green chili minced
  • 25-30 curry leaves
  • 2 pounds bone-in goat pieces shoulder or leg
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger

Spices

  • 1 tablespoon coriander powder
  • 1 tablespoon meat masala
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon fennel powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ cup grated coconut
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Press the sauté button and add 2 tablespoons coconut oil to the pot. Once it melts, add the onions, Serrano peppers and curry leaves. Stir-fry for 15 minutes, or until the onions turn brown.
  • Add the goat meat, garlic, ginger and spices. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the outside of the meat has browned.
  • Add the grated coconut, water and vinegar.
  • Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 30 minutes at high pressure.
  • Naturally release pressure.
  • When you open the lid, you will see that the meat has naturally released quite a bit of liquid into the pot. Press the sauté button and cook for 12-15 minutes, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil at about the halfway mark. The consistency of the dish should be mostly dry. The goat meat should be coated with a thick masala sauce.

Notes

  • Find frozen unsweetened grated coconut at your local Indian grocery store.
