Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose a ripe butternut squash that is heavy for its size and has a deep orange color.
  • Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.
  • If you don't have curry powder, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger.
  • Add the curry powder and other spices to the butternut squash and stir to coat. This will help the flavors develop as the squash cooks.
  • Cook the butternut squash in a little bit of oil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Once the butternut squash is tender, add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the curried butternut squash over rice or quinoa. You can also add some chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish.

Conclusion:

Curried butternut squash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. The curry powder and other spices give the dish a warm and flavorful taste, while the coconut milk adds a creamy richness. Serve curried butternut squash over rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
