    Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry

    M'Sahib is a pescatarian, so many of my meals I prepare are a no no for her. We both enjoy this one though, and as it freezes well, a large pot is typically made. This from earlier today.

    Getting organised. More time spent preparing the vegetables than actually cooking.



    First off is frying some black mustard and cumin seeds, along with some cardomon pods.



    Once the mustard seeds start popping, chopped onion is added and fried until softened.



    Next in the pan are some grated garlic and ginger, which is fried for a couple of minutes before adding powdered spices, turmeric, cumin, coriander and chilli. After another minute, the diced butternut squash and vegetable stock is added, brought to the boil and simmered for 15 minutes.



    Coconut milk, chickpeas and some sliced green beans go in, brought to the boil again before simmering.



    After 15 to 20 minutes, the sauce has reduced, and the curry is allowed to cool before being put into freezer boxess (or eaten straight away of course).

    Looks good enough considering it needs to be fit for a pescatarian.

    I'll be trying that in the next week, it looks delicious. Not entirely sure what freezer boxes are? Are the chick peas out of a can or dry? Pescetarianism makes perfect sense to me. I often incorporates a small amount of fish into my vegetarian dishes. Cheers

    The chickpeas were canned, though obviously dry could be used if soaked overnight. What I term as 'freezer boxes' are the ubiquitous plastic lidded takeaway boxes, which I buy from Lazada in packs of a 100. Makes it easy to see what's in them, good for individual portions, and makes the freezer more organised. Here's the recipe which will make 5 or 6 good portions, just adjust the quantities to suit: Butternut squash and chickpea curry recipe - BBC Food

    Yay PAG is back!

    I tried something similar, but just chickpea curry (w/o the squash). I got the recipe from Chetna Cooks (or something) on YT. She's a British-Indian lady and has won some awards (accdg to her bio). Sometimes I add some diced chicken breast or diced firm tofu (which has been previously fried). I also add some sliced green beans for color. Cheers!
