  This was quite nice but needed a veg. stock cube. Also, i didn't like the idea of the fig so I used cucumber and a whole garlic clove along with the parsley to flavour the yogurt. I had enough for more than two people, considering I served it with bread.

  This is lovely! The spices work very well... must add some seasoning though. That is a must. Very easy to make. but other than that, a beautiful dish. I didn't make the fig dip as I am freezing in batches for work but I can imagine the two go together perfectly. Lovely. You must make this. I added a the juice of half a lime also at the end just to lift the flavour. Beautiful.

  Really delicious and filling. It's good comfort food without the calories and I think will become a regular weekday dish. Have made it twice now, second time with sweet potato instead of the butternut squash which also worked well. I find it makes more than enough for 2, but suits me as I take leftovers to work the next day. Following the other suggestions I also added a veg stock cube and made the dip as Lindsay did, as had those ingredients already.

  Very nice dish. I added carrot just for some more veg and cooked it for longer than stated. I didn't bother with the raita.

  Very hearty. I used pumpkin instead of squash and cooked it for longer.

  Great filling recipe. I added a clove of garlic with the onion &used a tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce instead of the agave. You could probably halve the amount of kidney beans &still be a very substantial dish.for 2. Served with plain yogurt and a little chutney rather than buying figs!

  Horrible. Followed the recipe to the letter and cannot see anywhere that I went wrong but found this to be a horrible texture. The yogurt made it marginally mire bearable but once that was gone, the rest of the meal was banned. Both of us are perplexed that this recipe has enjoyed so many 5 star ratings. it was a gloopy, oddly flavoured mess. This recipe did nothing to celebrate the great butternut squash. Sorry.

  Made this exactly per the recipe and it was delicious. There was actually slightly too much for too people but the leftovers reheated very successfully for a light lunch the following day

  One of my fave recipes. Add a few cloves of garlic with the onion. Tonight I realised I had no squash so subbed carrots and parsnips - delish!! Always use half the kidney beans recommended - even I can't eat that much!!
