Préparation

Try this spicy recipe for a fiery treat. With lots of delicious heat from the curry, contrasting with cooling raita, it makes the ideal winter-warmer!

  1. Heat oil in a pan. Add the onions, garlic, ginger, pepper and chilli and stir fry briefly over a high heat so they start to soften.
  2. Add the butternut squash and stir fry for a few minutes. Pour in the cumin and coriander and stir.
  3. Add the stock cube with 200ml of hot water and stir. Then add in the tin of tomatoes and stir.
  4. Cover the pan and leave to simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the cucumber and yoghurt with the mint to make a raita.
