Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onions, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chunks and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In the same pot, add the chopped onions and cook until charred and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the lamb to the pot. Add the tomato paste, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  6. 6

    Slow Cook

    Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the lamb is tender and the flavors meld together.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with rice or bread.
