Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Pop the butternut squash onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Spread out in a single layer, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat, then roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 25-30 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
- Meanwhile, pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
- Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.
- Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the onion. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the onion has softened, add the mushrooms, garlic and North Indian spice mix.
- Cook, stirring continuously, 1 min.
NOTE: Adding tofu? Chop into 2cm cubes, season as instructed and fry in the hot pan for 6-8 mins before adding the onion.
- Add 50ml water (per 2P) and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) along with the stock and chopped tomatoes.
- Simmer until thickened, 8-10 mins.
- Stir through the coconut milk and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the roasted butternut squash to the pan.
- Loosen the curry with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
TIP: As the curry simmers, check occasionally to ensure it's not sticking and stir if necessary.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Top with butternut and mushroom curry.
- Finish with a sprinkling of sliced scallion.
