Ingredients

  • 1 small butternut squash peeled, halved, seeds removed and cut into 2cm slices
  • 2 large red onions, cut into 6 wedges
  • 4tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½tsp amchoor (dried mango powder)
  • 1tsp cumin seeds
  • ½tsp ground coriander
  • 200g Tenderstem broccoli
  • 100g coconut yoghurt
  • fresh coriander or sliced chilli, to garnish

For the dukkah

  • 2tbsp olive oil
  • 1tsp garlic paste
  • 1tsp chilli paste
  • 6 fresh curry leaves
  • ½tsp black mustard seeds

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C F/Gas 6. Put the squash and onions in a large bowl along with the oil, amchoor, spices and some sea salt. Mix well and transfer to a baking tray. Cook for around 20 minutes until the squash is tender and the onions are roasted.

Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli in a pan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes – don’t let it get too soft – then drain and set aside.

To make the dukkah, pour the olive oil into a small pan or frying pan with the garlic and chilli pastes, curry leaves and mustard seeds. Cook over a medium heat until the mustard seeds start to pop, the curry leaves sizzle and you can smell the garlic. Put the yoghurt in a bowl and stir the dukkah mix into it.

Divide the yoghurt among serving bowls, top with the roasted vegetables and broccoli and serve garnished with the coriander or chilli.
