Roasted Butternut Squash and Lentil Curry

Slimming Eats Roasted Butternut Squash and Lentil Curry - gluten free, dairy free, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

This is one of my favorite lentil curry’s to make up in a big batch. It is great for freezing and because of the sweetness of the roasted butternut squash, my kids love it, so it’s a meal the whole family can enjoy.

I use the chunkier variety of lentils when making this, like brown or green lentils, you don’t need to soak dried lentils overnight. You can used canned cooked lentils if you prefer, but I can buy a huge bag of dried lentils for such a cheap price, it’s more budget friendly to buy the bags and you will get a lot more meals out of it too.

I am sure it would work with red lentil too if that’s all you have, but would become more of a dhal type curry.

I like to serve this with my Zucchini and Rice Pilaf – but it will go well with a variety of different sides. I also like to add a spoonful of yoghurt to the top, but for a dairy free option, you could drizzle a little bit of coconut milk.

    I made this tonight and it was very very nice! I did find I had to add more water to it to stop the lentils drying out and sticking to the pan. It worked out fine though and had a lovely flavour! Thank you for the recipe, I’ll be making it again!

    So what would that be in weight? For the lentils?

    no idea in grams. I nearly always use my measuring cups for cooking. If you use a normal mug, just fill it to about 3/4 quarters with lentils and that should be about right. It doesnt have to be spot on.

    Just made this and it’s delicious.  Was going to freeze 3 portions but got to have another tomorrow.

    1 cup of lentils by the way is 8oz

    Love this site, fab recipes.  Thanks

    Just made this, had to use red lentils instead as they were all I had. I cut the ingredients in half and made enough for today and tomorrow. Will definitely be making this again, so yummy!
