Ingredients
- ½ butternut squash, peeled and diced (or 350g bag Cooks’ Ingredients Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash)
- 175g jar Cooks’ Ingredients Green Tikka Masala Paste
- 25g pack coriander, stalks finely chopped
- 700g jar Bold Beans Co Queen Chick Peas
- 1 small or ½ large red pepper, thinly sliced
- ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
- 400ml Essential Coconut Milk
- 150g frozen Essential Garden Peas
- 80g spinach
- Rice and/or flatbread, to serve
- Yogurt, to serve
Method
Put the squash into a steamer or metal colander with a lid, and set over a pan of boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes, until just tender (see tips for cooking in a microwave).
Place a large, wide frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the paste. Cook for 1 minute, then add the coriander stalks, the contents of the jar of chickpeas, the pepper and squash. Season with the salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add the coconut milk, stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer gently for 20 minutes, then add the peas and spinach with 5 minutes to go, until the sauce thickens a little and the squash is tender. Serve scattered with the coriander leaves, rice or flatbread (or both) and a spoon of yogurt. Or cool, then freeze (see below).
Cook’s tip
GET AHEAD
Cool the curry completely, then transfer to a freezerproof container and freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, allow to defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat gently on the hob with a splash of water until piping hot throughout. Serve as above, with fresh coriander sprinkled over the top.
ELLY'S TIPS
To microwave the squash, put into a large, wide non-metal baking dish, add a splash of water, then cover and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes at full power, until tender. Cook the bag of veg, if using, according to pack instructions
