Hi @shanibeer. I bought a small amount of goat meat. It was about a pound and a half. The curry powder that I used was actually from India since it was the freshest spice that I had in my pantry. I considered using a slow cooker as well but in the end chose to cook this dish on the stove top. A slow cooker would have allowed me the option of letting it cook a long time unattended. I would use a slow cooker before using the pressure cooker method. As it relates to scotch bonnet peppers, I have some hot sauce that I bought from Jamaica that uses those peppers, and even though I love the flavor, I can only use one or two drops on my food. :)
