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.
