Introduction

We love to roast squash as it really intensifies the flavour. We also always leave the skin on as it gives a sweet, chewy texture.

Ingredients

 Serves 4
1 butternut squash
2 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C, gas mark 6.
  2. Chop the butternut squash into chunks, leaving the skin on.
  3. Grind the spices in a pestle and mortar.
  4. Mix the oil, spices and butternut squash together until well coated.
  5. Tip onto a roasting tray and roast for 45-50 minutes, until the edges of the squash are crisp.

Recipe from

The Rafi's Spicebox Cookbook

In 2016, we released the Rafi’s Spicebox Cookbook with recipes all based on Indian flavours and concepts. Some of them have evolved from Rafi’s original recipes and others from our team's travel to India and beyond. This book was written to inspire you to cook the best food that you can. If we can encourage you to enjoy the whole process of cooking these dishes and sharing them with family or friends, our work is done. We’re very proud of these dishes, and hope to hear what you’ve done with them in your own kitchen!
