Yellow yellow mashed pumpkin

Im always trying to get the cheapest way to cook. Cheapskate lols. BUT why spend more when you can get the same result half of a price. 

I saw this half a pumpkin at pasar borong for merely RM1 and i cant resist not to grab it. 

Thinking of making a pumpkin pie. I need to find time to make the pastry. Kidding not, im very lousy in baking. Tak tau kenapa. Nak measure2 alahaiiiiiii lembab sgt. I only make chocolate cake and choc chip itupun sebab mmg measure using cups. Pathetic, i know. Haha

Ok back to this dish. I wanted a smokey flavour for the pumpkin so i roasted it in the oven for 30 mins 175c. Mind you, i always has excuse to use the oven sebab owh my senannggg. Masuk, turn on the knob and timer and you can mandi, mop lantai etc etc. seriously if you dont have one. Go get it. Buy toaster oven pun ok. You can get it for less than 100. Worth it!

Ok, im melencong. 

Make sure to scoop out all the mid section of the pumpkin (biji + residue) before you roasted it. No need to peel the kulit. 

After 30 mins. Take out and let it cool and scrape the isi out from the kulit. And mash it. On a hot pot. Put in cream and a very small amount of butter and let it simmer. Pour the cream onto the mashed pumpkin. No need to put salt. It tastes good just like that. 

Serve it with meat or chicken. 

The meat and kacang buncis recipe is already posted it before. Do scroll previous post. 

BTW This is cheap a very2 cheap diah. About RM1 for half for a pumpkin and i only used quarter for this. Kacang buncis is a great alternative for asparagus and it only cost rm3 for one bundle. The only splurge will the beef. Rib eye may cost the cheapest at jaya groccer about RM28 per cut But if you know your frozen store at your place this baby can only cost you RM15 for 3 cuts. 

My cost today for this is only a little bit under RM7. Who said you have to have a deep pocket to eat steak on daily?
