- Heat a pan under medium heat, pour in 3 tbsp cooking oil and stir-fry curry leaves and red bird’s eye chili until fragrant.
- Turn to low heat and add in pumpkin, milk and sugar.
- Seasons with AJI-NO-MOTO® and salt. Stir well.
- Once the mixture becomes concentrated sauce, add in fried prawns and mix well.

- If the pumpkin sauce is too thick, you may add more fresh milk (as different pumpkins may have different moisture level).
- Make sure the pumpkin sauce is not watery as it needs to coat with tiger prawns.
- Cut the pumpkin into wedges, remove seeds and steam until cooked. Remove the flesh from skin and mash with fork for a better texture.
- May use any frying flour according to personal preferences.
