Butternut Squash With Fenugreek Seeds Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Clean pumpkin seeds so there are no strings or pulp attached to them. Pat dry or let air dry in a strainer.
• Spread seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle seeds lightly with olive oil and stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle lightly with chili powder and sea salt.
• Bake, stirring every 5 minutes, until just slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook the onion, ginger, garlic, and fenugreek until onion is tender.
• Mix the lentils, squash, and cilantro into the pot. Stir in the water, coconut milk, and tomato paste. Season with curry powder, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes, or until lentils and squash are tender.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the ginger-garlic paste. Then, heat the oil in a medium-large, nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the onion and green chili peppers, stirring until golden, 4 to 5 minutes.2. Add the fenugreek seeds they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the coriander, turmeric, and salt, then mix in the butternut squash and the ginger-garlic paste. Cook, stirring, over high heat until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. 3. Mix in the yogurt, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the cilantro (save some for garnish) and water, and continue to cook over low heat, stirring and mashing some of the squash, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the reserved cilantro, and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
