Ingredients

400ml can light coconut milk
3 tbsp mild curry paste
2 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
3 garlic cloves, sliced
200g butternut squash (peeled weight), cut into chunks
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 small aubergine (about 250g), halved and thickly sliced
15g coriander, chopped
160g frozen peas, defrosted
1 lime, juiced, to taste
wholemeal flatbread, to serve

Steps:

Put the coconut milk, curry paste, bouillon powder, chilli, ginger, garlic, butternut squash, pepper and aubergine into the slow cooker pot and stir well. Cover with the lid and chill overnight.
Cook on low for 6 hrs until the vegetables are really tender, then stir in the coriander and defrosted peas. The heat of the curry should be enough to warm them through. Taste and add a good squeeze of lime juice, if you fancy extra zing. Serve with a wholemeal flatbread.
