Recipe #5
Coconut & Squash Dhansak
Vegetarian
Ingredients
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
500 g Butternut Squash
100 g Onion
4 Heaped tbsp Korma Curry Paste
400 g Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
400 g Tin of Light Coconut Milk
1 Packet(s) Mini Naan Bread
400 g Tin of Lentils
200 g Baby Spinach
150 ml Coconut Yoghurt
Serves 4
Method
Prep
Butternut Squash (about 1 small squash), peeled and chopped into bite-sized chunks (or buy a pack of ready-prepared to save time.
Cooking squash in the microwave is much quicker than on the hob. If you don’t have a microwave, roast the squash in the oven with your previous night’s meal. You’ll save time (and money on your energy bill), and cooked squash keeps in the fridge for up to four days.
You will need extra yogurt for presentation.
STEP 1
Heat the oil in a large pan. Put the squash in a bowl with a splash of water. Cover with cling film and microwave on High for 10 mins or until tender. Meanwhile, add the onions to the hot oil and cook for a few mins until soft. Add the curry paste, tomatoes and coconut milk, and simmer for 10 mins until thickened to a rich sauce.
STEP 2
Warm the naan breads in a low oven or in the toaster. Drain any liquid from the squash, then add to the sauce with the lentils, spinach and some seasoning. Simmer for a further 2-3 mins to wilt the spinach, then stir in the coconut yogurt. Serve with the warm naan and a dollop of extra yogurt.
