    I also made this to go with chicken biryani and was amazed how quick and easy it was. I used sweet potato as I had those in and it worked just as well.

    Can anyone advise if the saturated fat content is incorrect, it says "healthy" in the description but then says 28g saturated fat per serving which is really high.

    I didn't have enough butternut squash so added carrots and new potatoes, and as I only had full fat coconut milk I added more veg and made the meal feed four. Every enjoyable.

    Not usually a fan of meat free curries, but this was great with a Biryani. Easy to make will do again.

    I had this as a main course on a meat-free day and was a bit disappointed - it's pleasant enough, but nothing special. It would work better as an accompaniment, I think.

    Mine didnt thicken up. :( but yes, it tasted nice and it needed the coriander at the end. I added lots of veg to make a big dinner out of it.

    Delicious and easy vegan dish... this one will be a regular in my house! I did have to add some onions to this dish as i predicted it could lack flavour. Think i may add some mushrooms next time i make it. Overall a great simple recipe!
