Braised Pumpkin In Coconut Milk 马来风味椰浆南瓜

Happy 2018 to all my readers !!! Gosh, I've been extremely busy for the past few weeks. Just sent my boy in to the college and my girl is about to complete her internship. So, have to help her to shift her stuff back home again this weekend. She'll be going back to Uni in another month then finally going to complete her studies by June 2018. Phewww....... my girl is going to graduate this June. Just imagine how time flies !  I hardly cook for past few weeks. Finally, I can spend some time cooking one of my favourite dish this evening. The weather has been unexpectedly cold these few days. The rain started since Wednesday and it is still raining non stop till today. It doesn't look like it going to stop though. Hopefully, no flood this year !

2 stalk  lemongrass, take only the white part & roughly smashed

Ingredients for pounded paste :
2 shallots
3  garlic cloves
1/2 " ginger, sliced
6  bird eye chilies
