Ingredients:

Serving

1 small butternut squash, about 1 1/2 lb,peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tbsp coarsely chopped shallots or 2 tbsp yellow onions
1 tbsp coarsely chopped garlic
1 tsp peeled and chopped fresh ginger
2 green jalapeno chiles
3 tbsp water , plus
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
14 oz unsweetened coconut milk (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf

Directions:

In a small food processor or the jar of a blender, combine the shallots or onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, the 3 tablespoons water, and 1/2 cup of the cilantro.
Grind until you have a fairly smooth paste, pulsing the motor and stopping often to stir down the sides of the container and incorporate all the ingredients.
You will have about 1/4 cup bright green paste.
Set aside.
Shake the coconut milk can well.
Spoon out 1/2 cup into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and releases its sweet fragrance, about 3 minutes.
Add the curry paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, mashing, scraping, and stirring until the paste is dissolved into the coconut milk and is heated through.
Add the remaining coconut milk, the remaining 1/2 cup water, the sugar, salt, and butternut squash.
Raise the heat to high and bring the curry to a rolling boil.
Stir well, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil, and continue cooking until the squash is tender and the sauce is smooth and evenly colored a soothing green, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut all but a few of the basil leaves crosswise into thin strips.
When the curry is cooked, stir in the basil strips and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro.
Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving bowl.
Garnish with the reserved basil leaves and serve hot or warm.
Serve over your favourite rice- I like basmati.
