Butternut Squash Curry

As I’ve already mentioned, I’m a bit obsessed with butternut squash lately. This creamy butternut squash curry is one of my favourite recipes lately and I hope you’ll like it as much as I do! For this recipe I teamed up with the folks over at Athleta once again and designed at quick but oh so delicious meal that is not only super creamy and satisfying but jam-packed with all the important vitamins and minerals. I really like this creamy butternut squash curry as it is the perfect recipe for cosy fall and winter days but doesn’t take ages to prepare or cook. I’ve made it several times by now when I had friends over and they always loved it, so I’d call it a success! 🙂

This creamy butternut squash curry is only the second curry recipe I’ve experimented with so far and I will definitely continue to add more! Next to my Turmeric Coconut Curry this one is quite different in flavours and taste – but I couldn’t choose a favourite if I’d have to! What is great about this butternut squash curry is the creamy consistency and especially the variety of veggies and flavours. Apart from that it’s made completely oil-free and gluten-free.

On the one hand, butternut squash is not only very low in fat but also delivers a good amount of dietary fiber, making it an exceptionally heart-friendly choice. Furthermore, it provides a significant amount of potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C and A, which are important for keeping your skin and hair moisturised and healthy. The chickpeas and spinach, on the other hand, are not only full of antioxidants, but also include a significant amount of anti-inflammatory nutrients. In addition to that, they are jam-packed with folate and copper as well as dietary fiber, vitamin K, protein, iron and zinc. Hence, this curry is not only extremely delicious but especially beneficial to your health!

I hope you’ll like the recipe as much as I do! If so, please let me know in the comments below and share your recreations on Facebook and Instagram!
