This a great, tasty, healthy, vegetarian midweek meal. Perfect served with a peshwari naan!
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 inch ginger, peeled and chopped
1 red chilli, diced
groundnut oil
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garam masala
400g butternut squash, peeled and diced
400g tin chickpeas, rinsed & drained
400ml half-fat coconut milk
200ml vegetable stock
150g baby spinach
1 lime, plus wedges to serve
Put the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli into a small food processor and blend to a paste.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a large pan and fry the paste for a few minutes with a pinch of salt, then add the spices, and fry for another minute before adding the squash and chickpeas.
Mix with the spices, then add the coconut milk and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes until the squash softens and the sauce thickens.
Stir in the spinach until wilted, and squeeze in the lime juice to serve.
