Ingredients
- 100 g dried chickpeas (soaked overnight) (or 300 g canned chickpeas)
- 2 tablespoon ghee
- 1 large onion (small diced)
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon garlic and ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar

- 1 red chili (finely chopped)
- 3 large tomatoes (diced)
- 700 g butternut squash (diced)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1½ cup vegetable stock
- ½ cup chopped coriander
Instructions
- If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight with plenty of water. Drain the chickpeas and place them in a pan with plenty of water over medium heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for 45-50 minutes or until softened. Drain the chickpeas and set them aside.
- Place a large heavy-based pan or Dutch oven on medium heat, and add the ghee.
- Add the onions and sauté for a few minutes, until translucent.
- Once the onions are soft, add the cumin seeds, and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add the garlic&ginger paste and quickly sauté before adding the sugar, garam masala, turmeric, and salt.
- Cook the spices until fragrant, for about a minute, and then stir in the tomatoes and red chilies.
- Add the chickpeas(canned or pre-cooked) along with the diced squash, and give them a good stir.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stock, add the chopped coriander, and stir well.
- Put a lid on, bring it to a boil and gently simmer on low heat for 45 minutes, until the butternut squash is tender and the sauce has thickened.
