This is a fun way to prepare butternut squash or any pumpkin with an Indian twist. You simply roast it first dice and saute. I have been having fun creating new recipes with them I recently added to cous cous I have also made a barley salad with it and stay tuned for a spicy pumpkin soup.
Ingredients:
- one small butternut squash
- a little olive oil, salt and pepper to add to it as roasted
- 1/2 an onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic chopped
- salt to taste
- a few cumin seeds
- a pinch of mustard seeds
- one tablespoon of frozen coconut
- a pinch of garam masala powder
- curry leaves if you have them
Method:
- roast the butternut squash in half, with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper in an oven proof dish, along with a little water for about 20-30 min at 400 until soft
- allow it to cool and then cut into pieces
- heat a little oil and pop the mustard seeds then add the onion, garlic, curry leaves if available, the cumin seeds and saute for 3- 4 minutes
- then add the butternut squash, with a little garam masala and salt to taste
This would actually make a fun side dish for thanksgiving :-)
I am planning to work a company health fair this week with a colleague will be fun to have my dietitian hat on for a day, then later in the week driving to the pretty Asheville to give a talk on branding and social media to dietitians. Always nice to work as able and stay home with kids a blessing for sure.
Feel free to share the work you do in comments would love to know :-)
Hope you have a wonderful fun filled week
Hugs
