Goat's head curry( thale mamsa saaru/thale kari)

Not many of us would be familiar with cooking something like Goat's head...!!!??? Well, you'll can ask the butcher for the goat head meat. This is under spare parts section( there could be lot of people who love this or paya(leg meat curry) or liver fry, gizzard fry, kidneys,spleen etc...). I tried this homemade recipe on last Friday. It was quite easy. For those people who are feasting on a entire goat, and have no clue of what to do with the goat's head, here's a recipe....


Ingredients:
Goat's head( chopped in medium sized pieces) - 1 nos
chilly powder - 2 tbsp
coriander powder - 1 tbsp
small onions - 2 nos
ginger-garlic paste - 2 tbsp
oil - 2 tbsp
salt for taste

To grind:
onions - 1 large
tomatoes - 2 small
coconut - about 1/4 th
red chillies - 8-10nos
whole cloves - 4 nos
Cinnamon - 1 stick

Method:
Grind all the ingredients like onions, tomatoes, coconut, red chillies, whole cloves and Cinnamon to smooth paste and keep aside

In a pressure cooker, add oil and add small onions and fry till golden brown, add ginger-garlic paste, red chilly powder, coriander powder and continue to fry. Now add Goat's head meat and the ground masala paste. Add just enough water to cover the meat. Add salt. Cover and pressure cook for 10-15 min. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve

Note:
Due to non-availability of coriander and curry leaves here in Abidjan I exclude them in all my recipes. This curry can be seasoned with curry leaves also.
