BUTTERNUT SQUASH COCONUT CURRY
This was inspired from the lovely little butternut squashes at the Farmer's Market last week. I used my recipe: recipe #84474 as a base, switched the sweet potatoes for butternut squash, and added a can of coconut milk, and came up with this! I did take the time to toast and grind whole cumin and corriander, but feel free to use the already-ground versions of these spices as well. Also, roasting your butternut squash with some salt pepper and curry powder brings a wonderfully deep and carmelized flavor to your curry

Steps:
- Place cubed butternut squash on a foil lined baking sheet, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Sprinkle generously with curry powder, salt and pepper, and roast at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until tender. You still want them to hold their shape when added to the curry, and not be mush :>.
- While squash cooks, heat 1-2 tsp of canola oil over medium heat.
- Add onions and a little bit of salt, and sauté 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
- Next, add the curry powder, cumin, corriander and cinnamon, and stir to coat the onions evenly with spices.
- Add tomatoes with their juices, and the chickpeas, stir to combine.
- Next, add the spinach, stirring to coat with cooking liquid.
- When all the spinach is added to the pan, cover and simmer until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and gently stir to combine.
- Finally, add the roasted butternut squash to the liquid, and stir to coat.
- Top with fresh chopped cilantro (optional) and serve over basmati rice (I like brown basmati).
