Kuri curry

Prep time 15 minutes Total time 35 minutes Serves 4

Evenings are starting to get cool enough for us to seek a bit of warmth in our cooking, and who can resist trying all the funky squash autumn has to offer?

Squash are often difficult to work with because of their thick skin, but the Kuri variety is among the easier ones to slice. Plus, its skin is edible, so you won’t even have to remove it.

This Kuri curry can be whipped up quickly enough to serve on a weeknight and the leftovers make great lunches for the next day.
