Serawa/Pengat Labu.(Sweet pumpkin in coconut milk)

Your taste buds during pregnancy are quite unpredictable aren't they? Without taste buds, life would have less flavour. Before sleeping last night I suddenly craving for some sweetness.  And searched for a simple dessert recipe. Thinking that I bought 1/2 pumpkin yesterday and it only costs MYR1.08. Cheapest price that you will only get at MYDIN Malaysia. Even Tesco couldn't beat the price (just my personal thought).

So I disebabkan teringin nak makan serawa labu pagi ni lepas siapakan brunch terus kupas dengan gigihnya labu yang berkulit keras tu. It takes longer to peel off the pumpkin than to cook it.

Here it is. My simple sweet pumpkin in coconut milk.

SWEET PUMPKIN IN COCONUT MILK RECIPE

(portion for 1-2 peoples)

Ingredients:

1) 1/4 of middle size pumpkin

2) 4-5 tb sugar (you may use brown sugar if u like, es ist egal )

3) a pinch of salt

4) sago palms (optional)

5) 200ml or more coconut milk (you could substitute coconut milk with fresh creamy milk)

How to cook:

1) Peel off the pumpkin's skin and cut it into any size you want.

2) Put all the ingredients in the pot and cook them together. It will only takes a while, circa 5 minutes. If overcooked, the pumpkin will be too mushy and become pumpkin soup not 'serawa' anymore. But it all depends on your taste.
