Ingredients

2 Tbsp canola oil2 tsp fenugreek seeds2 tsp cumin seeds2 brown cardamom pods1 2-inch cinnamon stick1 yellow or red onion, peeled, cut in quarters, and sliced1 medium tomato, diced2 tsp turmeric powder1 tsp ground coriander3 lbs butternut squash, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces (approx. 6 cups)1 large jalape�o or 3-4 Thai or serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped2 tsp brown sugar1 tsp garam masala1-2 tsp kosher salt1 tsp cayenne pepper1 Tbsp fresh lemon juiceCilantro, for garnish (optional)

Directions

In a small sauce pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the fenugreek, cumin, cardamom and cinnamon stick. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture sizzles. Add the onion and cook for another minute or two, stirring, until the onion browns slightly. Add to the slow cooker and turn it on HIGH.

Add the tomato, turmeric and coriander, and mix well. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Add the squash, and mix again. Turn the cooker to LOW and cook for 4 hours, stirring once each hour.

Add the jalape�o, brown sugar, garam masala, 1 tsp of salt, cayenne and lemon juice. Stir gently, leaving some chunks of squash whole while others get mashed into the sauce. Taste, and add more salt if needed.

Garnish with cilantro if you like it (I don't), and serve hot with roti, naan, or on its own.
