Curry Goat with Tamarind Pepper Sauce
Posted on 1st Mar 2026
There’s a special kind of thrill when the aroma of curry fills the kitchen, mingling with the tang of tamarind and the fiery kick of pepper sauce. For many Trinis, curry goat is more than just a dish — it’s a centerpiece of family gatherings, Sunday lunches, and festive celebrations. With the Fiery & Fruity Fusion Bundle, you can bring that authentic flavor home, balancing heat with a touch of sweetness.
At My Trini Grocery, we make sure you have the exact spices and condiments that give this dish its unmistakable character.
Ingredients List:
For the Curry Goat:
- 2 lbs Goat meat (or lamb as substitute)
- 3 tbsp Chief Hot & Spicy Curry Goat Powder
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Pimento Pepper, chopped
- 1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper, optional for extra heat
- 2 cups Water or stock
- Salt to taste
For the Tamarind Pepper Sauce:
- 6 Paula Tamarind Balls (crushed)
- 2 tbsp Bertie’s Slight Pepper Sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Season the Meat: Rub the goat meat with Chief Hot & Spicy Curry Goat Powder, garlic, salt, and onion. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Curry Base: Heat oil in a heavy pot. Add curry powder paste (mix curry powder with a splash of water) and let it “burn” for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the Meat: Toss in the seasoned goat and stir until coated with the curry base. Cook until browned.
- Simmer: Add water or stock, pimento pepper, and Scotch Bonnet if using. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1–1.5 hours until the meat is tender.
- Prepare Tamarind Pepper Sauce: In a small pan, dissolve crushed tamarind balls in water. Add Bertie’s Slight Pepper Sauce and brown sugar. Simmer until thickened into a tangy, spicy glaze.
- Finish & Serve: Once the goat is tender, drizzle the tamarind pepper sauce over the curry. Serve hot with rice, roti, or bread.
Tips & Serving Suggestions:
- Balance the Heat: Bertie’s Slight Pepper Sauce adds fire, but the tamarind glaze cools it down with a sweet-sour twist.
- Make it a Feast: Pair with Trini roti or rice and peas for a complete Caribbean spread.
- Extra Kick: Keep a bottle of Bertie’s Pepper Sauce on the table for those who want more heat.
