Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cashew Paste

    Blend the soaked cashew nuts with a little water until smooth to make a cashew paste.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

    Add the cashew paste and coconut milk to the pan. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Add Lobster

    Gently fold in the cooked lobster pieces and simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring the lobster is heated through. Season with salt to taste.
