Jamaican Goat Curry is different from Indian Curry but has the same ingredients such as turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, mustard. It is a spicy dish for hot and cold days, delicious and rich, long simmered stew with goat chunks with bones in. Make your own Jamaican curry, add allspice to your Indian curry and mix up. This dish is spicy, you can feel the heat but if you want to make it hotter, if you want more heat, add some habaneros to your spice. The nice thing about this dish is, tastes even better after few days and may last in the fridge for a week, you can make a big batch and can have for lunches or dinners for whole week.
