Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lobster tails
- 1 can (400ml) Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
- 2 medium, chopped Tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to spice preference) Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Prep the lobster tails by cutting them in half lengthwise using kitchen shears or a sharp knife. Remove the meat and set it aside. Reserve the shells for additional flavor if desired.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Let the spices cook for 1 minute to release their aroma.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook until they start to break down, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Mix well, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Carefully add the lobster meat (and shells, if using) to the curry. Simmer for 7-8 minutes or until the lobster is fully cooked and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep the meat tender.
Stir in lime juice and adjust the seasoning by adding salt to taste.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish the curry with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread, and enjoy your Lobster Curry!
