Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, diced 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp ginger paste 2 tbsp tomato paste 1 tbsp Curry powder 1 tbsp Schwartz mango and lime seasoning 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 500g butternut squash, cubed 600ml vegetable broth 200ml full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream 1 can chickpeas, drained Coriander and lime wedges to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat a cast iron casserole dish or medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger paste and cook, stirring often, for another 2 minutes.
  2. Add the tomato paste, curry powder and Schwartz seasoning and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the colour of the tomato paste has deepened slightly. Add the butternut squash and slowly pour in the broth. Bring up to a boil, lower the heat slightly, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the squash is fork tender.
  3. Once tender, stir in the coconut milk/heavy cream and add the chickpeas. Continue to cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
  4. Serve over steamed rice and garnish with coriander and lime wedges.
