Prawn and Butternut Squash Curry

with rice and sprinkled scallions

Garam masala—the standout spice in this prawn curry— is actually a name for a blend of spices. The word masala means 'spices' while garam means 'hot' although the spice blend doesn't tend to be overly piquant.

  • Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
