Christina's Kaffir Lime Lamb

A rich, slow-cooked curry with Peranakan soul

"This special dish is one of my family’s signature dishes from the Peranakan cuisine which is popular across Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore." – Christina

Christina’s Kaffir Lime Lamb Curry is everything a slow-cooked curry should be: tender lamb that falls apart at the touch of your fork, simmered for hours in creamy coconut milk with fresh kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, galangal, and warming spices. The flavours are deep and complex, yet balanced with a gentle heat that makes it comforting and approachable.

Reminiscent of a rendang, this Peranakan-style curry brings together Malaysian, Indonesian, and Singaporean traditions into one truly satisfying dish. At 400g, it’s generous enough to share between two when paired with jasmine rice – the kind of meal that feels celebratory but can be on your table in minutes.

• I was brought up in Malaysia in a Baba Nyonya family. Our cuisine is often known as the Peranakan Nyonya cuisine, which is a fusion of Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian heritage. The Peranakan Nyonya cuisine is about traditional family recipes passed down for generations, along with the stories of the people who cooked them with love and passion.

  I grew up in a household of generations of excellent cooks. The high standards to use quality ingredients and creative use of aromatic herbs in the kitchen inspired my passion for cooking.
