5 steps
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix vegetable oil, garlic paste, ginger paste, coriander, cumin, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Let the marinade sit for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavors.Marinate the Goat Meat
Coat the goat meat with the marinade, ensuring it's well covered. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight for best results.
The longer the marination, the more flavorful the meat will be.Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's ready for cooking the goat meat.
A hot grill will give the meat a nice sear.Grill the Goat Meat
Place the marinated goat meat on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes on each side, basting with water to keep it moist.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 70°C (160°F).Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the goat meat from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting helps retain the juices for a more tender result.
