Instructions

1 ✓

Toss squash with oil and salt. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 mins until browned edges appear.

Tip: Roasting adds caramelization (Maillard reaction), deeper flavor than boiling.
2 ✓

Rinse quinoa in hot water. Cook in salted water (15 mins). Fluff with fork.

Tip: Resting after cooking prevents stickiness.
3 ✓

Sauté minced onion, ginger, and garlic in a skillet until onion is translucent.

Tip: Add garlic last to avoid burning.
4 ✓

Stir in curry and chili powder, then add tomatoes and coconut milk. Simmer.

Tip: Tomatoes balance the rich coconut milk.
5 ✓

Fold in roasted squash. Simmer briefly.

Tip: Don't overcook or squash will mush.
6 ✓

Serve with lime squeeze and cilantro, quinoa on the side.

Tip: Lime adds necessary freshness.
