- To make the chilli paste, put all the ingredients into a small food processor and whizz to a fine paste. Stop the machine and scrape down the bowl two or three times to ensure it's all evenly ground. Scrape the paste into a small bowl and set aside.
- For the curry, cut the goat shoulder into small, bite-size chunks and season with salt and pepper. Heat half the oil in a wide saucepan. Fry the meat in two batches until golden brown all over. After each batch, remove to a plate and set aside.
- Tip the chilli paste into the pan and stir over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the dried spices, sugar and curry leaves, if using. Continue to stir for another minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and stock to the pan and stir well. Reduce the heat, cover the pan and cook slowly for 3-4 hours until the meat is just tender.
- Remove the lid and skim off the excess oil. Gently simmer for another 20-30 minutes until the curry has reduced and thickened. The meat should be very tender. Season to taste and serve topped with coriander leaves.
