Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This is a wonderfully filling curry – serve with fluffy white rice, or naan breads and vegan yogurt.

Ingredients

1 medium squash, peeled and cut into 1cm chunks
2 white onions, roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
5cm ginger, grated
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp sea salt
180g spinach, roughly chopped
400ml passata
400ml boiling water
1 lemon, juice only
A handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C/ gas 7.

Tip the squash and onions into a roasting tin, then mix with the garlic, ginger, chilli, spices, oil and salt. Transfer to the oven and roast for 25 minutes.

Stir in the chopped spinach, passata and boiling water, then return to the oven for a further 20 minutes.

Taste and season with lemon juice and more salt as needed, then scatter over the coriander and serve with rice or naan bread.
