Instructions
- 11. In a large heavy‑bottomed pot, bring the coconut milk to a gentle boil over medium‑high heat.
- 22. While the coconut milk is heating, prepare the curry paste: combine all paste ingredients in a mortar or food processor and grind into a smooth paste.
- 33. Once the coconut milk is boiling, whisk in the prepared curry paste until fully incorporated; reduce heat to a low simmer.
- 44. Add fish sauce, tamarind paste (or juice), palm sugar, and lime leaves; stir until the sugar dissolves and the flavors meld.
- 55. Add the lamb pieces to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
- 66. Cover the pot and let the curry simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent sticking and to check liquid level.
- 77. During the last 30 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, fish sauce, or palm sugar as needed.
- 88. When the lamb is fork‑tender and the sauce has thickened to a silky consistency, remove the pot from heat.
- 99. Serve the lamb curry hot over steamed jasmine rice or warm flatbread, garnished with fresh cilantro or sliced chilies if desired.
