Ingredients
- 2 lobsters (around 1-1.5 pounds each)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 can coconut milk (14 oz)
- 1 cup seafood or vegetable stock
- 1 cup tomatoes diced optional
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the lobsters. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Place the lobsters in the boiling water and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the pot and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture becomes aromatic.
- Add the curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices. Allow it to cook for about a minute to enhance the flavors.
- Pour in the coconut milk and seafood or vegetable stock. Stir until well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the diced tomatoes and fish sauce (if using) to the curry sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- While the sauce simmers, prepare the lobsters. Remove the claws and crack them slightly using a lobster cracker or the back of a knife. Cut the body of each lobster into halves lengthwise, keeping the shell intact.
- Carefully place the lobster halves and cracked claws into the simmering curry sauce. Allow them to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is thoroughly cooked and tender.
- Once cooked, remove the lobster halves and arrange them on a serving platter. Pour the curry sauce over the lobster, ensuring it is well coated. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Serve the delicious curry lobster with steamed rice or crusty bread, and enjoy!
