Preparation

Chef’s notes

If you don’t have butternut squash, use sweet potatoes. If you don’t have cauliflower, then use broccoli. Green beans, carrots, bell peppers, and potatoes would be great here as well.
If you want more heat, spice it up. Add extra chiles or more turmeric, ginger, cardamom, cayenne, or red pepper flakes.
Vary how you serve it. You can serve this curry with basmati rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, or even quinoa.
