    1. Dice the lamb if needed, then peel and dice the potatoes and set them aside.

    3. Colour the lamb in a wok and then set it aside in a bowl.
    4. In a large saucepan, dry-fry the dried spices (turmeric, ground coriander and cumin seeds) for 1 minute, then add half of the oil and mix it together. Add the onion, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, chillies, lime leaves and tamarind paste and cook it for a further 3 minutes.
    5. Boil 200ml of water and dissolve the stock cubes. Add the stock to the saucepan, along with half the cashew nuts, palm sugar, coconut milk, the remaining peanut oil, fish sauce and the lamb.
