    Lovely! we had to use some curry powders we had in the cupboard and a little bit more stock. We didn't have fresh coriander so sauteed the onions in some ground coriander, did the trick. Served it with quinoa and chapatis, great healthy warming curry on a cold winters night.

    Very tasty and simple to make. Wasn't overly spicy but that can be changed according to personal taste. Will make again.

    Not brilliant - sauce too thin and more like a stew than curry. Will not be making again.

    Not a bad curry but found it a little bland in terms of taste and far too much stock/sauce

    Due to the comments above I simmered the sauce for a bit longer to reduce and added a bit more curry powder and ginger. I needed a bit more stock then to cover the squash and cooked it for 5 mins longer than stated time. I thought it was a really good dish and will make again.

    I simmered the sauce for longer to reduce it and then added somet more stock along with the squash and peas. I did also cook it for longer too. It tasted really nice. I used medium curry powder and it wasn't too spicy but you can alter this to taste. I'm not sure if I'd put peas in it again but will definitely make it again.

    I found this a great curry; however, had to reduce it down a lot more. I used slightly less stock and half a tin of chopped tomatoes. I also added slighty more curry powder and some chopped red chilli to give it more of a kick. Am making again this week!

    I'm really not an experienced cook and I found this really easy. I think I may have cooked it for a little longer than recommended - more by accident than anything - and it was absolutely delicious (even if I do say so myself) and nothing like a stew as some people have said. Not a huge fan of really spicy food and this was just right for me.

    This is a lovely recipe. Because we like spicy food I used 2 tablespoons of curry powder plus a chopped chilli. Also, the squash needs much more cooking than the recipe suggests so I left the lid off and simmered off some of the liquid too.

    wow, so tasty. Didn't look like much, and I was worried because others had said it was too watery, but the flavours are awesome! I did cover the pan to cook the butternut squash as the time stated is nowhere near long enough, but apart from that, no problems had. My husband has made sure I've saved the recipe so I can do it again she we have people over.

    Just tried this with cauliflower instead of the squash - it was lovely, husband liked it better than the 'real' version. I used 1 small cauliflower for two of us and simmered until cooked - about 15 mins (it took longer than I thought probably because I'd simmered away ost of the water.

    Lovely, but needs a bit more spicing than the recipe calls for as it comes out quite bland.
