Combine the lamb, salt, pepper, onion and oil. Heat a wok or heavy-based pan until very hot; add the lamb and onion mixture in several batches and brown very well. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove all the meat from the wok, leaving any oil.
Combine the lemon grass, garlic, galangal, ginger, turmeric, chilli and shrimp paste in a food processor and process, adding the extra oil, until a smooth paste is formed.
Reheat the wok; add the spice paste and cook it over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly (take care the paste does not burn). Add the lamb and onion mixture, cinnamon, cloves and coconut milk.
Simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally until the lamb is very tender. Serve with steamed white rice.
