Description

Butternut squash, simmered with curry spices and coconut milk, makes a tasty and easy Indian-inspired stew that is great on fall weeknights.

Ingredients

2 cups diced butternut squash
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

1 Combine squash, water, olive oil, salt, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cayenne pepper, and turmeric in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
2 Stir coconut milk and beans into the squash mixture; simmer until flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Serve curry with cilantro on top.
