Best Curry-Goat Recipe

It just happens that Indian cuisine is my favorite type of food. This curry-goat recipe is very easy to prepare. Contrary to popular belief, Indian food is not about hot and spicy, or a way of disguising poor quality meats.

It is very much about subtle blends of flavor, and you can use and make a fine meal out of goat meat. This recipe was given by and developed with my various Indian friends over many years and it just works so well and pleases just about everyone. You will not be disappointed!
