This creamy vegetable dish would make a very good accompaniment to a spicy curry or just serve it with plain rice or lemon rice.

The recipe is an excellent way to use up that glut of squashes you get every autumn, although this recipe calls for pumpkins, butternut squash or similar squashes would work just as well.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
