Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and fry for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent

Step 2

Stir in the finely chopped ginger, garlic, and Rogan Josh paste. Let this sizzle for 2 minutes to release the aromatic oils. Pour in 50ml of water (if cooking for 4) and cook until the water has evaporated—this ensures the spices are perfectly cooked through without burning.

Step 3

Add the diced butternut squash and peppers to the pan, stirring to coat them in the spice mix. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, andanother 200ml of water (if cooking for 4)

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then turn the heat down. Simmer uncovered for about 15–20 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the squash is tender and the sauce has thickened into a rich, dark red gravy.

Step 5

While the curry is finishing, heat your Basmati rice (2 minutes in the microwave or steam in a pan). Warm your naan breads under the grill or in a dry frying pan until soft and bubbly.
