  • Wash goat meat well under cold running water and pat dry. Rub in salt and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat oil and add sugar, allowing it to caramelize. Saute potatoes in the caramelized sugar until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes and set aside.
  • Stir in cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Add sliced onion, chile peppers, garlic, and ginger. Cook until onions are soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, remaining 2 teaspoons turmeric powder, and chili powder; cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add goat meat, stirring to blend everything. Add enough water to cover the meat, about 2 cups.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Taste curry and adjust seasoning with salt and sugar to taste if necessary.
  • Check the goat to make sure it is tender. Add the potatoes and about 1/4 cup more water. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Adjust seasoning once more. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro.
