Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 14 oz can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

  • Add the coconut milk and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Stir in the chickpeas and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the butternut squash is tender.
  • Serve the curry on its own or over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for an extra dose of fiber and protein.
  • Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro, pomegranate seeds, and cashew cream before serving.
