Curries are a go-to for many families, but can be tricky if your kids aren't familiar with hotter, spicier flavours. This curry is a perfect ease-in - it's easy to adapt the heat (if you want more spice, add more), but it's also simple, has a lovely flavour and contains veggies that children usually love! You can easily vary the veggies, of course. This one was a winner with Raffy and has become a firm favourite.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan (or wok) over a medium heat, add the diced onion, chopped garlic, coriander stalks (chopped, no tops) and sliced carrot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Add the diced butternut squash and mild curry powder and cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the coconut milk, along with 200ml of hot water (if cooking for 4) and the drained chickpeas and cook for 15-20 minutes (until the squash is soft and the sauce reduces a little).

Step 4

Add the chopped mangetout for the final 5 minutes.

Step 5

Heat the rice according to the packet instructions and serve with yoghurt dolloped on top and the picked coriander leaves (if you fancy) and a squeeze of lime.
