Introduction
Curries are a go-to for many families, but can be tricky if your kids aren’t familiar with hotter, spicier flavours. This curry is a perfect ease-in – it’s easy to adapt the heat (if you want more spice, add more), but it’s also simple, has a lovely flavour and contains veggies that children usually love! You can easily vary the veggies, of course. This one was a winner with Raffy and has become a firm favourite.

Method
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 25-30 minutes
Heat the oil in a large frying pan (or wok) over a medium heat, add the onion, garlic, coriander stalks (no tops) and carrot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the butternut squash and mild curry powder and cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes.
Add the coconut milk, 200ml of hot water and the chickpeas and cook for 15-20 minutes (until the squash is soft and the sauce reduces a little).
Add the mangetout for the final 5 minutes.
Serve with rice, yoghurt dolloped on top and the picked coriander leaves (if you fancy) and a squeeze of lime.
For babies and young children: Blend the sauce with the veggies in a separate bowl, or just make sure you chop/mash the chickpeas and veggies really well for toddlers. You also might want to go easier with the curry powder.
