  1. Place lamb, coconut milk, stock, cassia bark and star anise in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, about 1½ hours or until lamb is tender.

  2. Meanwhile, place chillies in small heatproof jug, cover with boiling water; stand 15 minutes, drain, chop finely.

  3. Toast the shrimp paste by wrapping in a small amount of foil and dry-frying foil parcel in a hot wok, tossing occasionally for about 2 minutes (or waving over a naked flame for 30 seconds using tongs to hold the parcel); cool.

  4. Dry roast ground spices in a dry wok until fragrant; remove to a plate and set aside. Add eschalots, garlic, lemongrass and galangal to the same wok and toast over high heat; tossing often until lightly browned and fragrant.

  5. Transfer fragrant vegetables and toasted spices, chillies and shrimp paste to a mortar and pestle or small blender. Pound or process until a smooth paste forms; set aside until ready to finish curry.

  6. Combine tamarind pulp and water in a small bowl stirring well. Strain through a small sieve - the brown liquid is tamarind water.

  7. Heat vegetable oil in wok. Add curry paste and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add lamb and its poaching liquid, 2 teaspoons of the tamarind water, sugar, fish sauce and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes or until potatoes are just tender.

  8. Sprinkle with peanuts and green onions, serve with rice.
