Green thai squash curry

Main Serves 4 35 min
A dead easy, vegan squash curry, this gets its creaminess from coconut milk, a fresh kick from limes and fresh coriander, and a good crunch from sprouting seeds. It's a great midweek meal served with brown basmati rice or any other grain you like. To keep this quick you can go with shop-bought Thai green curry paste if you don't want to make your own – but it's even better if you do.

Ingredients

  • oil for frying, eg. vegetable or sunflower
  • 1 onion or 2 shallots, finely sliced
  • 6 tbsp homemade thai green curry paste
  • 1 large butternut or 2 smaller squash,

  • (approx 1kg diced weight)
  • 400ml tin coconut milk
  • 2 limes
  • ½ pack mixed sprouting seeds
  • 30g coriander leaves, roughly chopped
