2 Tbsp curry powder, or to taste
1 pound butternut squash, chopped

Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger until softened, but not browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Season to taste and garnish with remaining cilantro.


Cook’s tips: Garnish each serving with 2 tablespoons of plain fat-free yogurt mixed with chopped fresh mint. You can also add cooked brown rice or a can of chick peas to the curry if desired (keep track of any added POINTS values).
