Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or large thick-bottomed pot (I recommend a 12-inch skillet with a deep lip), heat oil to medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion and sauté about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the butternut squash, yam, and grated ginger. Stir and sauté about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and spices, and sauté another 3 minutes before adding the coconut milk and garbanzo beans. Stir well to incorporate everything together.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid and bring the butternut squash curry to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking until vegetables are cooked through, stirring periodically, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. If serving the curry with rice, prepare the rice while the curry is cooking.
  7. Serve with chopped Thai basil, or cilantro and chopped chives.

Notes

  • *Use two cans of coconut milk if you like a lot of sauce in your curries. If you go this route, you may consider adding extra spices, like another tablespoon of curry powder.
  • You can replace all of the individual spices with a total of 2 to 3 tablespoons of curry powder. Curry powder is a blend of ground cumin, coriander, garlic powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper and sometimes cardamom, so replacing them with curry powder yields the same result.
