4. Chop 1 medium onion and add to pot along with the sliced onion and Scotch bonnet pepper that was set aside earlier
5. Add 2 cups of boiling water and bring to a boil
5. Taste and remove Scotch bonnet pepper based on your taste; add more curry powder to taste
6. Add potatoes, half a tin of coconut milk and tomato ketchup; simmer on low heat for 1/2 hour, or until the meat is falling off the bone.
Rice:
I serve my curry goat with rice and peas, I've grown up knowing two versions of rice and peas in London, one is with white rice and black eyed peas the other is white rice and kidney beans. You will need to soak either your peas or beans before cooking together with the rice. You can add some diced coconut to the rice while its cooking or you can cook the rice and peas in coconut milk and water with a mix of 50/50. Black eye peas and kidney beans roughly take an hour to cook so cook them in water to start and when it's time to add the rice say 15 mins towards the end of cooking the peas/beans add the rice and coconut or coconut milk, or for non coconut rice just add more water needed for the rice.
