Steps:

Chop and prepare all of the vegetables. I don't chop anything too small or fine if I'm putting it in the slow cooker.
Add the garlic, coriander and spices to the slow cooker, stirring in well with butternut squash.Now add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, carrots and onion to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Season with salt and pepper
Cook on medium for 4 hrs and serve with rice and nan bread, garnish with fresh coriander.The butternut squash cooks down so it is much softer in texture, yet does not disintegrate.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

400ml can light coconut milk
3 tbsp mild curry paste
2 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
3 garlic cloves, sliced
200g butternut squash (peeled weight), cut into chunks
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 small aubergine (about 250g), halved and thickly sliced
15g coriander, chopped
160g frozen peas, defrosted
1 lime, juiced, to taste
wholemeal flatbread, to serve

Steps:

Put the coconut milk, curry paste, bouillon powder, chilli, ginger, garlic, butternut squash, pepper and aubergine into the slow cooker pot and stir well. Cover with the lid and chill overnight.
Cook on low for 6 hrs until the vegetables are really tender, then stir in the coriander and defrosted peas. The heat of the curry should be enough to warm them through. Taste and add a good squeeze of lime juice, if you fancy extra zing. Serve with a wholemeal flatbread.
