How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and reserve.
2. In the same saucepan, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the cilantro, ginger, green curry paste, coconut milk, brown sugar, salt, and chili paste (if using). Mix well until combined.
4. Return the lamb to the saucepan and lower the heat to medium. Simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges, fresh cilantro, and chopped green onion.
