Butternut Squash And Green Beans In A Coconut Milk Curry Food

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND GREEN BEANS IN A COCONUT-MILK CURRY

Steps:

• Place the cubed squash in a medium saucepan with the water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and steam until the squash is tender, about 6 minutes. Remove the squash with a slotted spoon and then add the green beans to the pan. Repeat the process, topping up the water if needed.
• Return the squash to the pan with the green beans and any remaining cooking liquid. Add the coconut milk and a little more salt if necessary. Bring to a boil and immediately turn the heat down to low. Simmer the curry, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes-don't allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil or it will curdle. Do not stir because the squash may start disintegrating; shake the pan if you need to mix the ingredients.
• Transfer the curry to a serving dish.
• Make the tadka: Heat the oil in a small skillet or butter warmer over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the mustard seeds, covering the pan with a lid or spatter screen. After the mustard seeds stop sputtering, add the chiles and cashews and shake the pan over medium heat until the cashews are toasted and lightly browned. Pour this over the curry and serve.

GREEN MASALA BUTTERNUT SQUASH CURRY

Steps:

• Put the herbs, chillies, garlic, ginger and coconut milk in a blender and blend until completely smooth and bright green. (You can use a food processor, but a blender will make a smoother purée because it has four blades rather than two.)
• Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and add the spices and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer, add the squash and cook until soft - about 25 mins. Meanwhile, blanch the beans in boiling water, then drain and rinse in cold water - this keeps them perfectly cooked. Add them to the curry just before serving to warm them through. Serve with warm rice, extra coriander and chutney.

Steps:

• Place cubed butternut squash on a foil lined baking sheet, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Sprinkle generously with curry powder, salt and pepper, and roast at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until tender. You still want them to hold their shape when added to the curry, and not be mush :>.
• While squash cooks, heat 1-2 tsp of canola oil over medium heat.
• Add onions and a little bit of salt, and sauté 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
• Next, add the curry powder, cumin, corriander and cinnamon, and stir to coat the onions evenly with spices.
• Add tomatoes with their juices, and the chickpeas, stir to combine.
• Next, add the spinach, stirring to coat with cooking liquid.
• When all the spinach is added to the pan, cover and simmer until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add coconut milk and gently stir to combine.
• Finally, add the roasted butternut squash to the liquid, and stir to coat.
• Top with fresh chopped cilantro (optional) and serve over basmati rice (I like brown basmati).
