Delicious Butternut Squash Curry Recipe for a Cozy Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 medium butternut squash (peeled and diced)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 can coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant.

    Make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning.
  2. Add Spices

    Stir in the curry powder and cook for another minute until the spices are well combined.

    This enhances the flavor of the spices.
  3. Cook Butternut Squash

    Add the diced butternut squash and stir well to coat with the spices.

    Cooking the squash slightly before adding liquids helps it absorb flavors.
  4. Add Liquids

    Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.

    Simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the squash is tender.
  5. Finish with Spinach

    Stir in the spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.

    Add more salt and pepper to taste.
