Goat curry is one of those dishes where the ingredient list looks simple on paper, meat, curry powder, a few aromatics, but getting it right depends entirely on sourcing the real thing.
Generic curry powder from a big grocery chain isn't going to cut it, and finding goat meat at all usually means already knowing which butcher in the city actually carries it.
If you've ever had a craving hit and then spent an hour driving between a butcher, a Caribbean grocery store, and a regular supermarket just to pull one recipe together, MamiMarkets is built to solve exactly that.
Whether you're making a Jamaican-style curry goat with rice and peas, a Trinidadian version with the classic Chief-style curry blend, or a West African take on goat stew, the ingredients below cover what you'll need and you can order all of it in one cart, from multiple Edmonton vendors, delivered to your door same day.
If you don't see a vendor near you here, our full guide to butcher shops in Edmonton covers more options for specialty and custom cuts.
What Actually Goes Into a Proper Goat Curry
At its core, goat curry comes down to a handful of things done right: goat meat, ideally bone-in for flavour; a good Caribbean-style curry powder, the kind built around turmeric, coriander, and cumin, sometimes with a touch of aniseed depending on the brand; and the aromatics that carry the dish, onion, garlic, scallion, fresh thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper for heat.
Beyond that, most recipes call for a bit of allspice (pimento), a little tomato paste, and potato to round it out, with some versions finishing the pot with coconut milk for a richer sauce. None of it is exotic, but it is specific, and getting each ingredient from a vendor who actually specializes in it makes a real difference in the final dish.
Goat Meat Shops in Edmonton
This is the ingredient most people get stuck on regular grocery stores rarely carry goat, and when they do, it's not always bone-in or cut the way a curry actually needs. These are the Edmonton vendors known for stocking real goat meat, cut properly for stewing.

Curry Powder & Spice Stores in Edmonton
The spice blend is what separates a real goat curry from a bland approximation. A proper Caribbean curry powder turmeric-forward, sometimes with aniseed or fenugreek depending on the brand makes a bigger difference here than almost any other ingredient in the dish. These vendors carry the real blends, not a generic "curry powder" swapped in from the regular spice aisle.

How Delivery Works
Once you've found the vendors that deliver to your address, pulling together everything for a goat curry is straightforward: browse each store's live inventory, add goat meat from one vendor, curry powder from another, and fresh scotch bonnet from a third if that's where it's in stock, all into a single cart, checked out once. There's no need to place three separate orders or plan three separate stops just to get one pot of curry on the stove.
Here's what that looks like in practice. First, punch in your postal code that tells us which Edmonton vendors can actually reach you, since not every store covers every neighbourhood. From there, you shop each vendor's inventory the way you'd browse any online grocery search for goat meat, curry powder, or scotch bonnet specifically, and add each to your cart as you find it.
Once you check out, you'll see one order total and one estimated delivery window, not a separate timer for every store, and our delivery network coordinates pickups behind the scenes so everything arrives together.
Most orders land within an hour or so of checkout, depending on your address and how busy your delivery zone is at the time the app shows a live estimate before you commit. And if a vendor is out of something, you'll know before your order goes out, not after the pot's already on the stove.

Can I get everything for goat curry delivered in one order?
Yes, MamiMarkets lets you combine goat meat, curry powder, and fresh aromatics from multiple vendors into a single delivery order.
How fast can I get goat curry ingredients delivered?

Do the stores on MamiMarkets carry fresh scotch bonnet peppers?
Yes, most Edmonton's ethnic stores on MamiMarkets carry fresh scotch bonnet peppers.
Is bone-in or boneless goat meat better for curry?
Bone-in is generally recommended, the bone adds flavour to the sauce during the long simmer, which is part of what gives a proper goat curry its depth.
