My very first time of buying a pumpkin and using it. I remember that hubby told me that he liked a 'sauce pumpkin dish' when he was working at the branch office in KL. He couldn't say more of the dish when I probed further. So, I thought why not try curry (sauce?) as it is sweet in taste and with a combination of curry, it should be quite good. Perhaps that was something similar to what he said? The verdict.
He: I like it, quite similar but not SOO spicy. Hmm..next time, I will use only 30g of red curry paste.

1 butterscotch pumpkin - cut into cubes of your desired size
2 blocks of salmon (about 200g)- cut into cubes
1 onion- cut into quarters
a handful of curry leaves and Thai basil* (I didn't have the Thai basil, so I have used the Italian type)
150g of red curry paste (I have used Mae Ploy's brand but found it to be VERY salty AND spicy so, please do adjust accordingly and add more sugar/coconut milk if needed)
