My favourite Indonesian dishes are a rendang curry and a spicy nasi goring. The flavours in this lamb rendang combine to create a heavenly aroma through the house as it slowly cooks in the oven. A little tip when using turmeric: keep it off the bench as it will stain some surfaces.
Ingredients
| 3 | Red chillies, seeded and chopped roughly |
| 1 | Onion, chopped |
| 6 cloves | Garlic, chopped |
| ¼ cup | Freshly grated ginger |
| 2 tsp | Turmeric |
| 1 | Lemon, zest only |
| 2 Tbsp | Brown sugar |
| 1 Tbsp | Ground cumin |
| 1 Tbsp | Ground coriander |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| ¼ cup | Desiccated coconut |
| ¼ cup | Tamarind |
| 2 Tbsp | Olive oil |
| 600 g | Lamb, diced (Main) |

| 1 cup | Water |
