Indian inspired Goat Spectaculair

We get really good, fresh-tasting and well-treated goat meat from Young American Growers at Tait Farm (in Pennsylvania). It tastes great grilled with a few seasonings, but I decided to turn it up a notch. I searched a few recipes and came up with the below. It was excellent!!!
  • 1 lb. goat meat (ground or cube)
  • 1 clove (or ground cloves)
  • cinnamon
  • 1 bay leaf (if you have it)
  • 1 teaspoon whole black pepper or ground...
  • oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 3 chopped tomatoes (or 12 oz. can)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • a couple of chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste or chop up some ginger roots
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric powder (or to taste... i ended up adding more)
  • salt to taste
Heat oil in frying pan, add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves, whole black pepper and fry for few seconds. Then
add onions and fry until light brown, add ginger, garlic, tomato, tomato puree, chili, turmeric and salt to taste. When masala is thoroughly fried and oil comes up add goat and fry until brown. Then cover pan and simmer on low. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
