Because we have been unidated with Butternut Squash this summer I had to find a recipe, so after trail or errors !!! this has come up tops with Family and Friends so far ;)
2 large butternut Squash - about 1 1/2 kilo skin less weight, cut into Wedges
10 small shallots peeled and halved lengthwise
420g can Butter Beans, rinsed and drained
100g Spinach Leaves
4 tbs ghee
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
2 tbs Jeera powder
1 tsp ground chilli seeds
1" grated fresh ginger
4 crushed garlic cloves
6 tbs single cream
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
handful of fresh coriander chopped fine
Method
Steam the Squash until just tender (I found that steaming kept it shape,but you can boil)
Heat the ghee in a large Karhai or Wok.
Fry the Shallots with the sugar until just turning very light brown (about 10 mins)
Add the spices, ginger and garlic,salt and fry for a few minutes
Then add the steamed squash and butter beans and cook for about 5/6 mins, stirring now and again.
Add the cream and mix this through, add the spinach until wilted
Taste and adjust the seasoning,add the chopped coriander now.
I put the butter beans in for a little bit more substance, but you can leave them out. Added the spinach for colour
