Method

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or pan. Fry the onion for 5 mins until softened. Stir in the red curry paste, then add the squash, coconut milk and stock. Simmer for 15-20 mins until the squash is tender. After 10 mins cooking, tip in the green beans.
  2. Stir in the pineapple and coriander, cooking for just a few mins until the pineapple heats through. Sprinkle with the coriander leaves and serve the curry in bowls with noodles or rice.

Making it meaty or Indian

Fry 4 chopped chicken breasts or thighs with the onion. Or add shredded cooked chicken 5 mins before you're ready to serve. Or, switch the Thai curry paste for Indian curry paste and serve with rice.

    Used Pumpkin rather that squash and did boil it to soften a little for 10 minutes. Rest of ingrediants left unchanged. Very scrumptious.

    Really enjoyed this - the squash makes an excellent substitute for meat. Making your own red curry paste makes the world of difference! Also, tasted better the day after it was made!

    The pineapple adds a sweet-but-not-too-sweet flavour to the recipe. Taste/texture-wise, there's no need to peel squash or pumpkins for curries or stews. They aren't peeled in curry restaurants, and since I tasted them unpeeled in a restaurant, I've not peeled them since... they're such a pain to peel, I figure I'm saving a good five or ten minutes, and adding more (tasty) fibre to my diet, too!

    Not bad at all, easy to cook for a useless git like myself. Often find it difficult to find a half interesting receipe to cook my awkward veggie girlfriend..this was just the trick...hard to go wrong cooking currys for her! Always worry about cooking with squash as it to me always looks so unapitising, gave it a quick zizz in the old radiation cabinet before adding it to the curry so it was a little softer, I personally prefer it that way! Very nice, added asparagus and corgette to make it even better. Enjoy!

    Really good flavours, I will make again but with a little less liquid I think and I think naan bread would be a good idea as it doesn't keep you feeling full for long, but it was much nicer than I expected, I had thought from the list of ingredients that I would find it too sweet, but it was lovely.....I will try leaving the peeel on the squash next time too.

    We loved it! Even our daughters, which can be fussy, thought was a wonderful curry. We will make it again, and again, maybe adding chicken or king prawns next time.

    Excellent! I used fresh beans and roasted the squash first. I think that made it. I forgot to use stock but it didn't seem like it was missing anything. Will make it again!

    Delicious. I was sceptical about not peeling the squash, but bravely went ahead and it was fine - won't ever peel it for a curry or casserole again! Added chicken and used the whole tin of coconut milk and no stock and the consistency was great.

    Easy to make and pretty tasty. If you're feeling lazy, you could skip the paste and the coconut milk and just buy a jar of red Thai curry sauce . . . it does the same thing!
