Got this online, Its one of my favorites:
3/8 pound shallots
3 cloves garlic
15 dried red chile peppers
5 slices fresh ginger root
5 lemon grass, chopped
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
whole nutmeg
vegetable oil
1 1/4 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups shredded coconut
5 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 2/3 cups coconut milk
7/8 cup water
salt to taste
1 Heat the coconut in a dry wok, stirring continuously until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
2 Using a blender or a food processor, liquidize the shallots, garlic, chilies, ginger, and lemon grass to a thick paste.
3 Grind the coriander, fennel, cumin and nutmeg.
4 Using the wok, fry the shallot paste in a little oil for a few minutes. Add the ground coriander, fennel, cumin and nutmeg; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring continuously. Add beef; cook over a medium heat for a further 3 to 4 minutes, or until meat is browned.
5 Stir in sugar, coconut, cloves, cinnamon stick, coconut milk , and water. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer until most of the liquid has gone and the meat is tender (about 1 hour). Season with salt to taste.
Serve over rice or noodles. Worked pretty well. If you like spicy, Use hot Chile Oil instead of vegetable oil. Easy on the cinnamon.
