In much of Africa, this would be called curried venison; with the meat of local gazelles substituted for the true venison of Europe and North America.
Note that this is more the restaurant version of the dish rather than the style that would be cooked at home.
Ingredients:
1 kg of Gazelle meat, cubed and washed
2 Potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 packet dessicated coconut
4 tbsp oil, for frying
2 carrots, scraped, sliced in half lengthways and each half cut into 9 pieces
salt, to taste
2 tsp curry powder (a medium Madras is good)
1 tsp hot chilli powder
1 green pepper, cubed
1 tomato
3 onions, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tsp seeds from green cardamom pods
1 tbsp tomato purée
Method:
Place the meat in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes (topping-up the water as needed). If the meat is tender at this point, that's good. If not, continue cooking for 10 minutes more. At this point, take off the heat.
Drain the meat but reserve the stock.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. When hot, add the onions, potatoes, garlic and cardamon. Fry for 2 minutes then add the green bell pepper pieces and tomato pieces. Mix well to combine and continue frying for 1 minute more.
Add the meat and fry for 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt then scatter over the curry powder, hot chilli powder, and tomato purée.
Cook for 3 minutes then add enough of the reserved stock to give a thin gravy. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in the coconut and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your liking.
Serve hot with rice and/or flatbreads.
