Ingredients

  • 25 g Parsley
  • 1pc Butternut Squash
  • 100 g Garlic - Single Clove
  • 100 g Sambar Onion Peeled
  • 250 g Radish White (Mooli)
  • 250 ml Dabur Hommade Lemon Juice (Bottle)
  • 2 ltr Figaro Extra Light Olive Oil
  • 250 g Freshcon Cooked Kabuli Chana (Chick Peas)
  • 50 g Dhani Pure Black Pepper Whole
  • 50 g Sakthi Curry Powder
  • 1 kg Simply Staples Mineral Rich Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the whole butternut squash directly on the oven rack and roast until a knife easily pierces through the skin and flesh, about 50-65 minutes. Let cool until manageable, then trim ends, halve lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Tear or cut squash into large pieces, discarding the skin.
  2. 2. In a medium bowl, mix 1 grated garlic clove and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
  3. 3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup cooked chickpeas and cook, shaking the skillet often, until they start to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Add 1 diced onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons curry powder and stir until fragrant and the chickpeas and onion are well coated, about 1 minute. Season with sea salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl.
  4. 4. Wipe out the skillet and heat another 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the squash pieces cut side down and cook undisturbed until browned and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Flip the pieces, remove from heat, and season with sea salt and pepper.
  5. 5. Spoon the spiced chickpea mixture over the squash in the skillet.
  6. 6. In a small bowl, toss 2 thinly sliced radishes, 1 cup chopped parsley with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper, then scatter the salad over the squash and chickpeas. Serve warm.
