In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, lemongrass, bamboo shoots, and saffron. Let it simmer over low heat for 15 minutes until the flavors meld together.

For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a sprinkle of curry powder or chili flakes to the dish before serving. This will give it a subtle kick that complements the delicate sweetness of the dragonfruit.

Serving

Once the mixture has cooked down, stir in the dragonfruit and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the fruit is heated through. Serve the dish hot in a beautiful bowl, allowing the vibrant colors to shine through. The creamy coconut milk balances perfectly with the freshness of the dragonfruit and the earthiness of the bamboo shoots.
