1 can of full fat coconut milk
1 tbs of curry powder
2 tsp of fresh ginger grated
2 garlic clove minced

Place a large skillet over medium low heat and add in the oil and curry powder. Let the oil and curry powder warm together for about 4 minutes until the curry powder becomes nice and fragrant. Next, add in the butternut squash, chopped onions, garlic and ginger and stir.Rase the heat up to medium. Cover with a lid and cook while stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes.

If you want to skip the rice. This recipe also makes a great soup.
