It's essential to use the correct ratio of stock cubes to water, as not all stock cubes are identical. Using too few can lead to a bland, watery broth, while too many may create a stock that's overly salty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong>: Saut\u00e9ed to create a sweet and savoury base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong>: Adds aromatic depth and pairs well with spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ginger<\/strong>: Brings a warming, zesty note that balances sweetness and spice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cumin Seeds<\/strong>: Offers a nutty, smoky flavour essential for the spice blend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Turmeric<\/strong>: Provides a golden colour and subtle earthy flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garam Masala<\/strong>: Adds warmth and aromatic complexity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chilli Powder<\/strong>: Adds a hint of heat; adjust to taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Curry Powder<\/strong>: Infuses the dish with a balanced mix of spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low-Calorie Spray<\/strong>: Used for saut\u00e9ing; keeps the dish light. I prefer to use a brand with no emulsifiers in the ingredients. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and Pepper<\/strong>:  These basic yet essential flavour enhancers are key for elevating the taste of your dishes. No food will ever be bland when these are used to season to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Peel and Chop Butternut Squash<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Peeling and dicing butternut squash can seem daunting due to its tough skin, but a sharp knife, like a Santoku Japanese Knife, makes the task easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by placing the squash on a stable surface. To prevent slipping, secure your chopping board with a damp kitchen towel underneath. Slice off the ends and use a sharp vegetable peeler to remove the skin. For quicker peeling, microwave the whole squash for 1-2 minutes to soften the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After peeling, cut off the seedless section and dice it. Slice the bulbous end in half to remove the seeds and chop as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer convenience, pre-peeled and chopped butternut squash is available fresh or frozen, though I find fresh squash offers better flavour.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Roasted Butternut Squash and Lentil Curry \u2013 A cosy, meat-free dish, with caramelised butternut squash and tender lentils with a perfect blend of spices.\" data-pin-title=\"Roasted Butternut Squash and Lentil Curry\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26.jpg\" alt=\"close up of Roasted Butternut Squash and Lentil Curry in a double handled pan\" class=\"wp-image-43966\" title=\"Roasted Butternut Squash and Lentil Curry \u2013 A cosy, meat-free dish, with caramelised butternut squash and tender lentils with a perfect blend of spices.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/roasted-butternut-squash-lentil-curry-26-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to tailor the curry to your taste or what you have on hand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Roasted Sweet Potato<\/strong>: Swap out butternut squash for roasted sweet potato to add a different layer of sweetness. Like butternut squash, sweet potatoes should be roasted to enhance their flavour and ensure a creamy texture. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Lentils<\/strong>: Use brown lentils instead of green lentils for a similar hearty texture and flavour. Brown lentils work well in this recipe and maintain their shape, just like green lentils.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken<\/strong>: For added protein if not vegetarian, incorporate diced chicken breast or thighs. Cook the chicken separately or with the curry, adjusting the liquid ratio as needed to accommodate the extra ingredients. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Additional Vegetables<\/strong>: Feel free to include other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or spinach. Just keep in mind that you may need to adjust the liquid ratio to ensure the curry remains at the right consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red Lentils<\/strong>: Avoid using red lentils in this recipe as they break down quickly and can affect the consistency of the curry, unlike brown or green lentils which hold their shape better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spice Adjustments<\/strong>: Depending on your choice of vegetables or proteins, you might want to tweak the spices. For instance, adding extra cumin or coriander can enhance the flavour profile when incorporating different ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creaminess<\/strong>: If you're looking for a creamier texture, you can stir in a dollop of Greek yoghurt or a splash of coconut milk towards the end of cooking. This can complement the flavours and add richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heat Level<\/strong>: If you prefer a spicier curry, increase the amount of chilli powder or add fresh chopped chillies. Adjust to taste based on the heat level of your chosen ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These tweaks can help customise the curry to suit your preferences and make it uniquely your own.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sides for Roasted Butternut Squash and Lentil Curry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Elevate your serving of curry with a variety of delicious sides, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Basmati Rice or Flavoured Pilau Rice:<\/strong>&nbsp;A classic accompaniment, perfect for soaking up the rich curry sauce.

class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1722280628907\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I freeze this curry?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, this curry freezes beautifully. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer bag. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until piping hot. You may need to add a splash of water or stock to loosen the curry as it reheats.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1722280678345\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I use red lentils instead of green or brown lentils?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Red lentils are not recommended for this recipe as they break down quickly and can affect the consistency of the curry. Unlike green or brown lentils, which hold their shape and provide a hearty texture, red lentils tend to become mushy and alter the overall texture of the dish.<\/p> <\/div>
