Pound the onions, garlic, and ginger into a paste.
Heat the oil in a pot and fry the spice paste for 6 minutes.
Add the lemongrass, bay leaves, turmeric, coriander, cumin, cloves, and cinnamon.
Add the lamb and turn for 8 minutes, until it takes on color.
Add the hot water and cook over low heat for 35 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and salt, then cook for 30 minutes, until thickened.
Rest the gulai for 10 minutes and serve hot.
💡 Tip: After adding coconut milk, do not boil hard; low heat reduces fat separation and keeps the sauce from splitting.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve as a main dish in a deep plate with plain rice, cucumber slices, and lemon.
