Northern Indian Goat Curry. John voted this one a winner after adding the finishing touches. Originally omitted the goat grease, however John advised to add it back in to help create more smooth, velvety masala sauce. The finishing touches helped ensure flavor and texture were both spot on for a delicious, enjoyable, authentic Goat Curry.
