Directions
Bengali Butternut Squash and Chickpeas Garbanzos,This recipe by Anjum Anand caught my eye. A vegetarian curry is made with butternut squash, chickpeas and the Bengali spice mixture, panch phoron (a blend of equal quantities of fenugreek, nigella seeds, fennel seeds, cumin and mustard seeds or celery seeds), also known as Bengali five-spice). I had most the ingredients so I was able to put it together quickly and easily. I did tweak to make the recipe work for us. Serve as a side or main over rice.,Great recipe, glad to have another use for the panch phoran. I wasn’t sure if you meant the panch phoron should be whole or ground. I opted to grind my mixture up, and was fairly heavy handed with the amount. Nice easy recipe, could be made super quick with pre-chopped squash. I added some chopped greens during the last few minutes of cooking, just for a little extra colour and nutrition….had as a main course with some brown rice…really nice!
