Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs lamb stew meat, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste or minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Cooked rice or naan bread for serving

Instructions:

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger paste or minced ginger to the pot, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the lamb stew meat to the pot and brown on all sides for about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cinnamon, ground cloves, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
  5. Add the potatoes, carrot, and red bell pepper to the pot, and stir to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth, and bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  8. Whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew to thicken the sauce.
  9. Simmer the stew uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  10. Serve the Tropical Lamb Stew hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, overcooked rice, or naan bread on the side.

Enjoy your delicious Tropical Lamb Stew with its aromatic flavors and tender lamb chunks! It’s perfect for a cozy meal with a touch of tropical flair.
