A simple curry anyone can make for the autumn. If you don't have all the spices, you can just use 1 to 1.5 Tbsp curry powder. Or mix in other spices you might like.

I like to use dried chickpeas over canned because they have a better texture and make their own "broth" when cooking :)

Cooking Instructions

60 mins
  1. 1

    Soak chickpeas overnight or for 8 hours if using dried ones.

  2. 2

    Peel potatoes. If using butternut squash peel it too. If using kabocha, just scrub the skin very well. Cut the squash and potatoes into bite size chunks.

  3. 3

    Mince the onion and garlic. In a pot, heat the butter/olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, coriander seeds and fennel seeds (optional) and cook on low heat until very soft.

  4. 4

    Mix the spice mix while the onions are cooking. Then add the chickpeas and spices into the pot with the onions. Stir for 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the potatoes, squash and about 500 ml water into the pot (or enough to cover everything). Bring to a boil on high heat. When it boils, turn to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 30-45 minutes until chickpeas are soft. (if using cooked chickpeas 30 minutes should be good)

  6. 6

    Lastly, mix in about 1 tsp garam masala, cook briefly then turn of heat. (if it's too 'soupy' let it cook without the lid for a few minutes to let it thicken). Serve into bowls and top with a little plain yoghurt and maybe some fresh cilantro if you have.
