Slice the beef blade into strips and heat a pan with vegetable oil. Add the large onion, coriander root and garlic clove and cook for 1 min. Then add the beef and cook for a further 2-3 mins until golden brown.
Meanwhile cube the eggplant and pumpkin into small cubes and add to the pot. Cook for a further 2 mins, then add the curry paste, coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves.

In a separate pan heat the desiccated coconut in a pan until golden and toss through the estranged jasmine rice. Garnish with fried shallots before serving.
