Exotic Dragonfruit and Purple Potato Recipe

May 5, 2025 Written by Emily

Introduction

Today, I am excited to share a dish that combines unexpected flavors and textures to create a truly unique dining experience. This recipe was inspired by a recent trip to a spice market, where I discovered a new ingredient that sparked my culinary creativity.

Preparation

Ingredients:

  • purple potatoes (300g)
  • dragonfruit (100g)
  • saffron threads (1g)
  • coconut milk (200ml)
  • lemongrass (2 stalks)
  • shiso leaves (10 leaves)
  • lime (1)
  • chili (1)

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • potato peeler
  • grater
  • mixing bowl
  • saucepan

To start, peel and cube the purple potatoes before boiling them until tender. Meanwhile, finely chop the dragonfruit and set aside. In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk with saffron threads, lemongrass, and shredded shiso leaves to infuse the flavors.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and mash them in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the infused coconut milk mixture, stirring to achieve a creamy consistency. Fold in the chopped dragonfruit and zest the lime over the top for a burst of citrus flavor.

Tips

For an extra kick of heat, add thinly sliced chili to the dish before serving. The contrast of spicy chili with the sweetness of dragonfruit creates a delightful flavor balance that will surprise your taste buds.

Serving

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800 grams, with four servings at an average weight of 200 grams each. Each serving is estimated to have around 250 calories.

I encourage you to try this recipe and make it your own by experimenting with different herbs and spices. Cooking should be a creative and fun experience, and I hope this dish inspires you to think outside the box in your own kitchen. Enjoy!
