Preparation for Butternut Squash Curry (One Pot)
- Warm the oil in a big Dutch oven or other kind of saucepan over medium heat. When you are ready, add the onion and shallots that have been diced.
- Cook for another three to four minutes, or until the onions have become softer and are beginning to become transparent.
- The butternut squash should be chopped before being added, along with ginger, red curry paste, curry powder, and salt. To evenly distribute the spices over the squash, give it a little swirl. Continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Include chickpeas, coconut milk, vegetable broth, and lime juice in the ingredient list.
- The next step is to bring the mixture to a boil, after which you should decrease the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and allow it to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the squash is easily pierced with a fork and the curry has thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the spinach until it has wilted.
- Taste the curry very carefully, and make any necessary adjustments to the salt or other ingredients.
- If you choose, serve this dish over basmati, jasmine, or brown rice, and top it with fresh cilantro and slices of lime before serving. Enjoy!
