Method:
- Peel squash and cut into cubes. Heat oven to 200C (gas mark 6) and place squash in a roasting tin with a good spray of fry light for 30 minuets.
- Slice one onion and add to a pan with the ginger and lemon grass. Spray with plenty of fry light and cook gently until onions are soft around 10-15 minuets.
- Add the curry paste and stir for one minuet to release the flavours, then add the butternut squash to the pan.
- Empty the tin of coconut milk to the pan and simmer for 5 minuets, stirring occasionally.
