☛ 200 grams tomato puree
☛ 2.5 cups (approx 425 gram) cooked chickpeas (or canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained)
☛ 1 large sized onion, chopped
☛ 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic crushed
☛ Salt to taste (I have added sea salt)
☛ 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
☛ 500 ml (approx 1 1/4 can) coconut milk (or more if needed)
☛ 1 cup water or vegetable broth, if needed to adjust consistency
☛ 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
☛ 3/4 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder (you can also use cayenne pepper)
☛ 1 teaspoon chana masala or curry powder
☛ 3/4 teaspoon coriander powder

How to make Butternut Squash Chickpea Curry:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add cumin seeds, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick and sauté for a few seconds or until fragrant.
3. Now, add chopped onions and sauté for 2 minutes.
4. Add crushed ginger-garlic and sauté 1 more minutes or until the garlic is very fragrant and the onions turn translucent.
5. Add tomato puree and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes.
6. Now add cubed butternut squash and give it mix.
7. After that, add salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix and cook for 2 minutes until the spices are well mixed.
8. Now add chana masala powder, cumin powder, and 300 ml coconut milk. Stir well to combine.
9. Cover the pan and turn the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the squash is 80% cooked. Stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking and burning.
10. Stir in the cooked chickpeas, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, 200 ml coconut milk, and garam masala powder. (At this point you can now adjust the salt and consistency.)
11. Give everything a good stir and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the squash soft and tender and the sauce thickens.
12. Add maple syrup and lemon juice to taste. Stir well. Cook for 1 more minute.
13. Remove from heat, and serve butternut squash chickpea curry hot with steamed rice or naan.
