Steps:

Place on a large baking tray, drizzle generously with oil salt and pepper, toss and place in the oven for 35-40 minutues until soft through and starting to brown on the edges.
In the meantime, start the curry. Add coconut oil to a large pan on medium heat, once melted add finely chopped onion. Stir and fry for a few minutes then add crushed garlic and grated ginger. Leave to cook for a further minute.
Add all the spices - curry powder, garam masala, cumin, cumin seeds, turmeric and chilli powder. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, add a little more oil if needed so it doesn't burn.

Add the chickpeas and cook for a further 5-10 minutes, it should have thickened and be nice and creamy and orange in colour. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. If you like it spicy you can add some extra chilli powder.
Add the roasted butternut squash, stir and serve! Top with some chopped fresh coriander and serve with basmati rice and your favourite sides - like my onion bhajis!

VEGAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CHICKPEA CURRY

Vegan Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry image

This is a delicious vegetable curry with chickpeas and butternut squash, but you can use any other pumpkin as well. If you're not vegan, yogurt tastes great with it, or you can use soy yogurt instead of course. I like to use dried chickpeas and cook them myself instead of canned, but you can of course use canned chickpeas as well.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup dry chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 pods green cardamom
2 dried red chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon tomato paste, or more to taste
1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 carrots, chopped
1 ½ cups water, or as needed
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

Place chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight.
Drain and rinse chickpeas under running cold water. Place in a large pot, cover with several inches of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chickpeas are soft, 60 to 75 minutes. Drain.
When chickpeas are halfway done, heat oil in a large pot and cook onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cardamom pods, chile peppers, coriander seeds, turmeric, and mustard seeds and toast for 1 minute. Mix in tomato paste.
Stir butternut squash and carrots into the pot. Add enough water to cover vegetables halfway. Simmer over low heat, partially covered, until all the vegetables are soft, 25 to 35 minutes. Add more water if curry gets too dry.
Mix in cooked chickpeas shortly before serving and heat until warm. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.
