*I love Thai curry, the majority of the ingridents are veggi.... but I dont like japanese and indian.. too much spices!

*Oilve oil, high heat, seal lamb (chop into chunks), season the lamb with sea salt and pepper.
Brown all sides, set it aside (on a plate)

*Blend up 1-12, put it into pan, fry it with the oilve oil and lamb juice!!
add brown sugar, fish sauce, white pepper, sea salt , mix well till the aroma is out!

*Add curry powder, mix well

*Put the lamb back to the pan, mix well, cover it up, low heat, add Coconut milk, cook till the meat is NICE & TENDER!!

*Get a bowl of Thai Jasmine rice, and...................... Drumrolls................ ENJOY!!!



** Can substitue lamb with beef, Duck, or chicken... just use the kind of meat that has stronger and meaty flavor!

**Thai curry is not only very aromatic (the aroma from all the veggi and spices), but also has this sweetness from brown sugar and purple onion, a bit sourness from lime, the Spicyness from Red/Green chili pepper, and then finally ROUND it all UP with the creaminess of Coconut milk!!

**ALL the flavors balance each other out, no one overpowers the other, yet you can taste each and every Unique flavor!!!


**I heard that Lamb is acutally very good and can boost up our energy, esp. during this HOT summer! I think this dish can be eaten all year around... cuz during COLD winter, lamb can warm you up!
