METHOD

In a heavy-bottomed pan, add the lamb and turmeric powder, along with 2 tsp salt and enough water to just cover the meat. Bring to a boil and put a lid on.
Simmer until the meat is tender: approximately two hours. You can use a pressure cooker or a slower cooker for this stage if you wish.
Once the lamb is cooked, heat another pan with the sunflower oil.
When hot, add the curry leaves and red onions and sauté until the onions are caramelised.
Slice the green chillies lengthways and add to the pan along with the black Kampot pepper and other spices, ginger, chilli powder and garlic. Continue to fry for a further minute.
Next, add the cooked lamb along with any juices. Cook on a medium heat until all the liquid has evaporated.
Then turn the heat to high and fry the lamb until dark and caramelised.
Remove from the heat, garnish with coriander leaves, and serve with some lovely rice and raita.
