This is so delicious and nutritious and perfect for a meat free night. Full of flavour, I served this curry with steamed basmati and homemade naan (recipe in my link). #vegetarian #vegan #curry
This recipe serves two adults with leftovers.

Steps

1

Fry diced onion in olive oil and then add ginger, garlic and chilli. Then add the spices & lemongrass before adding the butternut squash and red pepper chunks. Add crunchy peanut butter and mix into veg, then add red lentils and stir well. Then add stock cube and water and bring to boil. Then turn down to a simmer and add coconut milk. Season well with lime juice and salt (I used at least 1 tbspn to taste) and a smaller amount of pepper.

Now simmer with the lid on for about 60/90 mins. Add more water throughout if needed and keep storing so it doesn’t stick. Spinach leaves can be thrown in towards the end of cooking. To garnish I use spring onions, fresh coriander, chilli, poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
