Pumpkin in Coconut Milk

Pumpkins are plentiful and relatively cheap. There are many Asian pumpkin recipes that you can find and I’m going to share with you a simple desert recipe – Asian pumpkin in coconut milk. You can serve it hot or cold depending on the weather or the way you like.

Ingredients

500 g pumpkin, peeled and cut into pieces (1.5 cm- 2 cm)
2 cups water
2 cups coconut milk
80 g palm sugar or to taste
¼ teaspoon salt

Bring pumpkin, water, coconut and palm sugar to the boil. When it starts boiling, turn to medium and continue to boil for 8 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft and add the salt. Serve hot in winter or cold with ice cubes in summer.

Serve 4

Note: I like to use jap pumpkin in this recipe because it is easy to cook. You can use sugar instead of palm sugar if you don’t have it.
