Season chops generously with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and Serrano peppers and cook, stirring often, untill fragrant and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the whole peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes longer. Add the goat and cook in the spice mixture until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of water, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
