Steps:
- Bring the fish stock to the boil in a large saucepan, add lobster bodies and tail fans and boil for 6 minutes (no longer or you will overcook the legs). Remove from the pot. Pull off legs and claws, cover and set aside with the tail fans (they will later decorate the completed dish). Strain and retain the stock for the sauce.
- Heat a little oil in a large saucepan and lightly cover the lobster tail pieces for about 1 minute. Set aside.
- Lightly brown the onions and garlic in the same pot (add extra oil if necessary), then add the chilli, curry leaves, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon. Sizzle the spices for about 30 seconds, then add the chopped tomato, lemon juice, stock and a little salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Just before serving return the lobster to the sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes until cooked. Add the yogurt and heat through. Tip into a warm bowl, or serve directly from the pan. Garnish with the reserved tail fans and legs.
ERAWAN'S RED CURRY LOBSTER
Steps:
- Bring the coconut cream to a simmer over medium heat in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add the red curry paste and simmer, stirring, for several minutes. Add the coconut milk, simmer for 1 to 2 minutes then add the eggplant, fish sauce, salt, sugar and kaffir lime leaves. Simmer the curry until the eggplant is soft and cooked, about 15 minutes. Add the lobster and basil and heat through. Spoon the curry into a serving bowl, garnish with sliced chiles and serve with rice.
- Toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a small pan over very low heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. In a spice grinder or mortar, grind the seeds to a fine powder. Transfer the spice powder to a blender. Add the chiles, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, lime leaves, peppercorns and shrimp paste. Puree, adding water a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a thick paste. Store covered in a cool dry place.

Steps:
- To make the ravioli: mix all of the stuffing ingredients together. Place 1 wonton skin on a flat surface. Moisten the edges with a little water. Place about 2 teaspoons of the stuffing in the center of the wonton. Top with another wonton and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and boil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the lobster is cooked through.
- To make the sauce, in a nonstick pan, add the butter and melt. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture bubble like pancake batter, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the wine, garlic, and curry powder and cook until the mixture is thickened and the alcohol has cooked out of the wine, about 5 minutes. Add the milk slowly. Use chicken bouillon as your salt and sweeten with honey to your liking. After the sauce is nice and thick, add ravioli. Season with black pepper. Garnish with chopped basil, grated Parmesan, and roasted macadamia nuts.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked lobster meat. You can find it in the freezer section of most grocery stores.
- If you're using fresh lobster, be sure to cook it properly. Overcooked lobster is tough and chewy.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your curry sauce. Some good options include bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas.
- Serve your lobster with curry sauce over rice or noodles. You can also add a side of naan bread or roti.
- Garnish your dish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
