    I used half butternut squash, half sweet potato, and more spinach (200g) as I had a big bag to use up. It was scrummy! Will definitely make again as it was so easy. I also used dry spices that I added in with the onion and a tin of tomatoes in juice so added a little less water.

    I didn't like this at all, just wasn't very tasty. However i did feel good afterwards for knowing it was quite healthy!

    This is delicious and surprisingly filling. Plus I found even the members of my family that tend to declare anything without meat as just a bowl of vegetables found this delicious. I served this with what is suggests "goes well with" the spinach and pea pilau and it was really a fabulous combination.

    I followed as instructed above (but reduced the amount of tomatoes for a hotter curry) and have found that the madras curry paste is not a good one for my taste buds. I think it would be better with a tikka paste so will try that next time. Good recipe though, more like this please!

    Absolutely, and suprisingly, delicious! Only had 3 tomatoes so added a can of chopped tomatoes also and used 260g spinach. Looking forward to eating it again tonight. Didn't miss the meat at all.

    This is such as simple and tasty recipe. I don't like spicy hot food so I used Rogan Josh paste because the label said it was not as hot as madras. The 1st time I made it I used frozen spinach which tasted absolutely fine but did make the curry go a very sludgy colour. The 2nd time I used fresh spinach (as per recipe) and it tasted just as good but it looked much more appetising because the colours were so much more vibrant and appetising

    Made this for dinner tonight, really tasty! I added some red pepper and a bit of potato to give it some variety. Tasty and easy to make :-)

    Made it last night, absolutely gorgeous. Got a blister trying to saw the damn butternut squash, and it was a bit too firey with two teaspoons of madras paste in, so I added a big tablespoon of mascarpone, which calms the heat down, but it still leaves a kick of spice.

    So simple and yet very tasty. Any curry paste can be used - I had Korma opened so used that, plus a couple of green chillies, some fenugreek and some leftover cooked chicken. Have also used sweet potatoes instead of squash, and Tikka Masala paste. Very versatile. Will definitely be on my list of dishes when making curries.

    Great curry and no hassle to make after a long day at work. Buy a small squash as it can be quite rich. Nice with some soured cream on the side. Any leftovers, take to work the next day! Lots of oohs and aaahs in the office!

    We used jalfrezi paste as an alternative to madras and added some tomato puree to thicken too. We also substituted half of the water for 100ml coconut milk which added extra flavour.
