Ingregients:
Lamb Shanks 4 large or 8 small, cleaned and at room temperature
Cooking oil 2 Tbsp
Onions 4 large, halved and thinly sliced
Garlic 8 cloves, chopped
Ginger paste 2 Tbsp
Lemongrass 2 pcs, chopped
Red chillies 2 nos, finely chopped
Galangal 1 inch, sliced
Tomatoes 4, roughly chopped
Lamb Stock 500 ml
Star Anise 4 whole
Thai Basil stalks 20 gms
Mint Stalks 20 gms
Coriander stems 20 gms
Soy sauce 25 ml
Salt & pepper to taste
For Finishing (to taste)
Lemon juice
Palm sugar 2 Tbsp

Method:
- Heat the oil in Cast iron pot or your preferred cooking vessel, then brown the lamb shanks on all sides, remove and set aside
- Add the onion, ginger, garlic, lemon grass, chilli. Fry until soft
- Add the tomatoes and cook for another 5-7 mins
- Add all the other ingredients.
- Return the lamb shank in the pot, cover & cook in the oven at 150 deg C for 1.5 hours or on low flame till the lamb is cooked and is tender
- Finish with the finishing ingredients

Pro Tip:
- If the gravy is thin, remove the shanks and let the gravy cook and reduce on flame without lid. Re-introduce the lamb when the gravy reaches the desired consistency
- It's a rustic preparation and is eaten as is, but if you want to make it a finer dish then tie all herb stalks with a thread before putting it in the pot and remove that bunch before serving.
- Similarly, some people find it bothersome to chew on chopped lemon grass
- To avoid that, instead of chopping lemongrass grass you may want to keep lemon grass in large pieces, smash the with back of a knife before putting it in the pot and remove it before serving
- Traditionally served with rice, but is also great with couscous
- Traditionally, in Madagascar, they would use 2 tbsp palm sugar, but you may want to use less sweetness in a lamb main course
