How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and brown it until it is well sealed on all sides. Remove the lamb and reserve it.
2. In the same pot, cook the chopped onion and garlic until translucent. Add the red curry paste and tomato paste, cooking briefly to intensify its flavor.
3. Add the whole head of garlic, the cinnamon stick, the cloves, the bay leaves and the grated ginger. Return the lamb to the pot and mix well with the spices.
4. Pour in the lamb broth and let the mixture come to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes so that the lamb is tender.
5. Add the coconut milk, season with salt and pepper to taste, and continue cooking for another 30 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Serve hot, generously garnishing with fresh chopped cilantro and accompanying with cooked basmati rice.
