The goat tarkari is a dish native to Trinidad, influenced by the coming of the Indians and Indonesians to this island. By its closeness to the Venezuelan shores, this dish was gaining territory in Venezuela and prepared in different ways but preserving the seasoning of the Hindus, such as curry (main condiment). Today it represents a typical dish of the west of the country.
