The nights are drawing in and we need something warm and full of spices. This seasonal squash and coconut curry will do the job perfectly…
SQUASH AND CAULIFLOWER CURRY
Serves: 5
For the paste:
2 tbsp oil
1 onion, diced
1 tsp fresh or dried chilli, to taste
9 garlic cloves (approx 1 small bulb of garlic)
thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled
1 tbsp ground coriander
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp garam masala
2 tbsp tomato purée
For the curry:
400g of squash, chopped into 2cm chunks
2 x 400g cans chickpeas, drained
400g can chopped tomatoes
200g cauliflower, chopped into small pieces
100g creamed coconut
½ small pack coriander, chopped, plus extra to garnish
100g spinach
To serve:
Cooked rice/naan bread
Method
Begin by roasting the squash and cauliflower. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/180C. Lay the 2cm chunks of squash and cauliflower onto a baking tray and drizzle over oil. Season and bake for 30 mins.
Once the squash is almost done, start on the curry paste. On a medium heat, pour a tbsp of the oil into a saucepan and add the onion and a tsp of fresh or dried chilli. Cook until softened, or around 8 mins.
Combine the garlic cloves, the ginger and the remaining oil in a food processor, then add the spices, seasoning and the fried onion. Blend until smooth and add a drop of water or more oil, if needed.
Cook the paste in a medium saucepan for 2 mins over a medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick. Next, add the squash and cauliflower and allow them to absorb some of the spices for a further 5 mins.
Tip in two 400g cans drained chickpeas and a 400g can chopped Organic Kitchen tomatoes, and simmer for 5 mins until reduced down.
Add the creamed coconut with a little water, cook for 5 mins more, then add the chopped coriander and spinach, and cook until wilted.
Garnish the curry with extra coriander, before serving up with rice and naan.
