Start by preparing the spices: pound together 10 to 15 curry leaves, 4 to 5 dried chilies, 6 to 7 cloves, and 15 small pieces of cinnamon stick.

Add 12 to 15 dalek and 1 piece of peeled ginger to the mixture.

In a bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons MDH meat masala, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Fiji masala, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Chop 1 small tomato and 1/2 onion finely.

Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pot until warm.

Add the prepared spices to the pot and sauté them briefly.

Add the chopped onions and tomatoes to the pot and mix well.

Add 2 pounds of chopped goat meat to the pot and stir to coat with the spices.

Add 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida, 2 cardamom pods, 1 bay leaf, 5 small sticks of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds to the pot.

Stir the mixture until the goat meat is well combined with the spices.

Add water to the pot to create a gravy, ensuring it's not too thick.

Cover the pot and let it cook on low heat.

After some time, add the remaining garlic ginger paste and stir.

Let the curry simmer until the goat meat is tender and the gravy is well combined.

Finish by adding a handful of chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
