• 1 medium sized onion
• Knob of Ginger
• 6-8 Garlic Cloves
• Tin of Coconut Milk (Good Quality)

• Tablespoon of Veg Cooking oil
• 1 Litre of Stock of your choice (I had some homemade Chicken stock that I used for this)

Spices

• Salt & Pepper to your taste

• 1 tsp of Red Chill Powder
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 2 tsps of Grd Cumin
• 1 Tsp Grd Coriander
• 1 Tsp Tumeric Powder
• 1 Tsp Garam Masala

How to…

1. Start with a little fight with your Butternut Squash to cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and score the inside
2. Sprinkle with Salt & pepper, drizzle with Olive oil and throw into the middle where you scooped out the seeds a couple of garlic cloves.
3. Into the Air fryer for 30 -35 mins on ROAST at 180 degrees or into an Oven (your choice)
4. Roughly Chop all your other Veg, Ginger and Garlic
5. In a large saucepan heat your Ghee and Veg oil and add in your chopped Ginger & Garlic to soften for approx 5 mins
6. Throw in your chopped Veg – Cook for approx 15 mins until all softened
7. Add in your Stock, Red wine vinegar and ALL your spices, bring to the boil and simmer for 10-15mins

(Keep tasting it in case you want to change the balance of flavours to your taste)

8.Once your Butternut Squash is roasted – Scoop out into a bowl with the garlic and mash with the back of a spoon

9. Add into your Spicy Soupy mixture. Good stir and add in your Coconut milk

10.Simmer for 5 mins and then Whizz it all I used my trusty Ninja Nutri Bullet. Give it another taste in case anything is missing.

Garnish with a drizzle of Olive oil and Coriander – Serve with Crusty Bread of your choice

Its that simple

ENJOY MAYE THE SPICE BE WITH YOU!
