Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Rice

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, typically using a ratio of 1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water. Set aside when done.

2

Cook the Curry

In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

3

Add Meats and Spices

Add the cubed goat and lamb meat to the pot. Brown the meat on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the Kalaya spice blend and cook for another minute.

4

Simmer

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meats are tender. Stir occasionally and add salt to taste.

5

Prepare the Accompaniments

While the curry is simmering, prepare your nam pla khai tom and pickled cucumbers to serve alongside.

6

Serve

Serve the curry hot over jasmine rice, garnished with toasted coconut flakes, and offer nam pla khai tom and pickled cucumbers on the side.
