    Bengali-Spiced Squash,This recipe makes wonderful, spicy, roasted squash. It comes from the ‘delicious’ magazine (november 2004) and appeared together with a very simple roasted ginger chicken. The chicken was a little bit lacking in taste, so I decided not to post it before having the recipe adapted. The squash was lovely, though. I chopped the leftovers and mixed it together with some pan-fried red pepper, chopped flat-leaf parsley, a little bit of olive oil, and lemon juice into couscous which I had cold for lunch. Yummy!,Yum! Made with butternut squash, cubed instead of wedges. Served with butter chicken, basmati rice, and a potato, peas,and paneer dish. Excellent!,absolutely amazing! what a wonderfully sumptuous dish this was- i served it with a mixed veggie curry and a dhal, but this was the star of the meal! the spice blend is perfect, especially the cardamom! next time i’ll use even more onions as they were great a absorbing the gorgeous flavours in this recipe.
