4. Add the tomatoes into the food processor and blend into a puree. Add it to the skillet with the spices: 2 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tsp garam masala and salt to taste. Cook till the oil separates from the masala.
5. Add the goat meat to this mix and saute it till the meat gets browned.
