Once caught, tie the iguana securely with electrical tape for transport.

Prepare the ingredients: chop onion, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and green chili.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in chopped bell pepper and green chili; cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add iguana meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in curry powder and turmeric; cook for 1-2 minutes to toast spices.

Pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer.

Add diced tomatoes and bay leaves; reduce heat to low.

Cover and cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until iguana is tender.

Stir in lime juice and season with salt to taste.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
