Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and chopping board

Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare the vegetables: peel the butternut squash and sweet potato and cut into uniform cubes of approx. 2-3 cm.

Tip: Uniform size is important so they cook at the same time.
2 ✓

Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat and fry the curry paste (or powder) for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Tip: Spice aromas are truly released in fat.
3 ✓

Add the diced vegetables and toss them thoroughly so the spicy paste coats them everywhere.

Tip: This step 'seals' the vegetables slightly and flavours their surface.
4 ✓

Pour in the coconut milk. If it doesn't cover them completely, add a little water. Season with salt and pepper.

5 ✓

Cook over medium heat, covered, for approx. 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Taste and season with more salt if needed.

Tip: Be careful not to stir too vigorously at the end, as the soft vegetables mash easily.

Recipe FAQ

The potato cooked away, what did I do wrong?
Sweet potato can cook faster than butternut squash (depending on variety). Cut the sweet potato slightly larger than the squash, or add it 5 minutes later.
