This is my fave go to curry- it’s simple, good for ya and delish! Blending roasted butternut into the sauce works super well with the creamy coconut milk, peanut butter and spices.
I opted to add spinach, red pepper and chickpeas to it this time but you can use whatever veg and protein takes ya fancy- it’s so versatile and a great way to use up whatever you have left in the fridge!
This curry sauce happens to be a slightly tweaked version of my https://deadlyxdelish.com/coconutty-roasted-butternut-squash-soup/ An extra dollop of peanut butter and spice to the soup base makes a lush mild satay style sauce.
