Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Paste

    In a blender, combine the garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and a bit of the coconut milk to create a smooth paste.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the spice paste and cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb

    Add the cubed lamb to the pot and brown on all sides. Stir in the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and sliced red chili.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Pour in the remaining coconut milk, season with salt, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot with rice or bread.
