How to Make It
- In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, garlic, ginger, cayenne, cumin, coriander, and salt. Toss the cubed lamb in the marinade and coat well. Place in the refrigerator overnight or for two hours.
- An oily sauté pan over medium heat should be heated. Cook the onion, frequently stirring, for 8 minutes, until golden. Cook the garlic, ginger, tomato paste, garam masala, and cayenne for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Boil the tomatoes with their juices, salt, and stevia.
- The heat should be reduced to low, the lid covered, and the simmering time should be 15 minutes. After adding the coconut milk, please return it to a simmer and let it simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Keep warm after removing from heat.
- Heat a broiler or grill to a high temperature. The oven rack should be placed in the upper-middle position (about 6 inches from the heat). Skewer the lamb cubes about 14 inches apart after flipping halfway through cooking; grill or broil the chicken until slightly charred on the outside, about 2 minutes per side.
- Allow the lamb to rest for five minutes after it has been cooked. Warm the sauce and stir in the chunks. Add the cilantro and taste, adding more salt if necessary. Naan may be served with this dish if desired.
