Technique to learn

Wet Frying

A pan-frying method where cooked meat is rapidly tossed in a concentrated tomato reduction until thick and tightly coated.

Instructions

Step 1: Place goat meat in a pot with 1 cup water and half of the salt, simmer covered for 20 minutes until tender and water evaporates.
Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add boiled goat meat, and sear for 5 minutes until golden brown.

Step 3: Add sliced red onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chiles to skillet, sautéing for 4 minutes until onions soften.

Step 4: Stir in diced tomatoes, curry powder, and remaining salt, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet.

Step 5: Cook uncovered over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring continuously until tomato mixture reduces into a thick glaze coating meat.

Step 6: Toss with chopped cilantro and remove from heat immediately before serving.

Cooking tips

Pre-boiling bone-in goat meat ensures tenderness before high-heat pan frying.
Keep heat medium-high during the final reduction step for maximum caramelization without burning.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Kenyan; regional versions vary.
Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
