What Is Butternut Squash?


It's a winter squash, native to the Americas around the mid-20th century. The name is said to derive from its nutty taste and buttery texture. You can usually get hold of these all year round yet they are in season at the end of summer/early autumn.


Tips For Storing Butternut Squash

  1. Keep in a cool dark place or refrigerated

  2. Always, cover and refrigerate once cut

  3. As long as the surface of the squash doesn't get loose, wrinkly or watery it's still good to use.

Will You Be Adding This Simple Butternut Squash Curry With Coconut Milk To Your Recipe Repertoire?


You can experiment with this recipe very easily, change up the spice ratio, or add a dollop of good quality peanut butter for a nutty flavour to compliment the butternut squash.


Garam masala is one of my favourite spices, or should I say, blend of spices, so when I'm short of one or two spices in my rack, most times, as long as I have garam masala in the recipe, the curry still tastes banging!
