Split open the game hens from the breast side and flatten them out into a butterfly shape.

Discard loose skin and fat. Broil the hens for 3 minutes on each side.

Process the shallots, garlic, coriander, chile, ginger, turmeric, salt, lime juice and 1/2 cup of the coconut milk to a smooth sauce.

Marinate the hens in the sauce for 15 minutes.

Put the hens in a large skillet and cook over moderate heat for 10 minutes uncovered.

Then add the remaining coconut milk and the lemon grass.

Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes, basting occasionally, until the hens are tender and almost all the liquid has evaporated.

Serve warm.
