Instructions

Roast the Butternut
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Trim the butternut squash, halve lengthways, then scoop out the seeds (peel first if you prefer). Cut into 1-2cm chunks.

Pop the diced butternut onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Fry the Onion
2

Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 6-8 mins.

Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve. Grate the cheese

Add the Flavour
3

Once softened, add the korma curry paste and tomato puree to the onion. Stir-fry for 1 min. 

Simmer the Sauce
4

Meanwhile, drain the prawns. Add the prawns, coconut milk, lentils, vegetable stock paste and the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) to the onion. Stir well to combine. 

Bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Dipper Time
5

Meanwhile, put the naans onto a baking tray. Sprinkle over the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Pop them into the oven until the cheese has melted, 5-6 mins.

Once the curry sauce has thickened, stir in the roasted butternut squash, peas and mango chutney

Make kid friendly: If your kids would prefer, serve the butternut squash on the side. Those who want the squash can scatter it on top of the curry.

Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it looks a bit thick. 

Serve
6

When the naans have cooked, remove from the oven and slice into 2-3cm thick dippers. 

Divide the curry between bowls. 

Serve with the cheesy naan dippers on the side.
