Preparation
Step 1
Chop up the butternut squash & prep all other ingredients
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 15 minutes with a pinch of salt until softened and turning golden, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Add the garlic, ginger and green chill, and stir, for about five minutes.
Step 4
Add the ground coriander, cumin and garam masala, stir for a minute, then toss in the cubes of squash and lentils, and stir until well coated.
Step 5
Pour in the stock and tomatoes, crush the tomatoes against the sides of the pan with a fork to break them up a bit.
Simmer, part-covered, until the squash and lentils are very tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Stir in about two-thirds of the coriander, taste and check the seasoning. Add salt and pepper if desired.
