Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, stirring frequently for even caramelization.

  2. 2

    Add ginger and crushed garlic, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil separates on the sides.

  3. 3

    Add goat meat pieces and sear over high heat until all sides are browned, about 8 minutes, then lower the heat to medium.

  4. 4

    Mix in all spice powders: Kashmiri red chili, Kolhapuri masala, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and salt. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring to allow the spices to bloom and coat the meat.

  5. 5

    Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 50–60 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the red broth (tambda) has developed a deep color and fatty float.

  6. 6

    Finish with the remaining oil and finely chopped cilantro, stir, and simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes for flavors to meld. Serve hot alongside traditional breads, curries, or chutneys.
