Curried Goat Recipe

Here is the curried goat recipe, courtesy of a goat-keeping website.  I thought it was lovely, though I did add a bit too much liquid and it was very spicy so if you don't like curry too hot, add a bit less chilli maybe.

My recipe for mushroom bhaji is as follows - it's very simple:

3-4 tbsp cooking oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
half tsp turmeric
half tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
three quarters tsp salt, or to taste
1 tbsp tomato puree
225g chopped mushrooms

Heat oil over medium heat and fry onions till lightly broned.  Lower heat and add garlic, turmeric, chilli powder, coriander and cumin.  Stir and fry spices and add about 1 tbsp water to prevent sticking.  Add more water when dries up.  Continue for 5 mins.  Add salt and tomato puree, mix well and add mushrooms.  Stir until well mixed.
Sprinkle about 2 tbsp water and cover pan.  Simmer for 10 mins.  Should have small amount of gravy but not be runny.  If necessary, remove lid to allow to evaporate.

Goat Curry

Now cooking goat curry, or should  say Curried Goat.  Will also do mushroom bhaji.  Watch this space to see what it's like.  Having said I rarely use convenience food - I'm actually using a packed of pre-cooked rice today, as I found it in the pantry - we'd bought it for a recipe and it didn't get used.  Oh, and pre-bought naan bread, though I do often make my own.

Reason for the Blog

Like a lot of people, I love food.  I love cooking, and eating proper food, and generally 'convenience' food to us, is sausages or the odd bought pie.  Not that I've got anything against convenience food, but you can't beat home-made stuff for taste, often economy, and for being better for you.  At least we know what goes into things we cook ourselves - and besides, in a lot of cases we can have a home-cooked meal ready as quickly as we can a frozen meal.  I can imagine the reaction I would get from my husband if I put a 'ready-meal' in front of him after he's been to work.

So I thought it would be good to set up a blog, whereby we can maybe share recipes and ideas for food.  I'll be thinking of some things to post on here in the not to distant future.
