Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 delicata squash cut in half and then sliced in ½ inch sections
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp ginger minced
  • 15 oz chickpeas drained
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp coriander
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a deep sauté pan or wok, heat oil on medium then add onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add delicata squash, season with salt and cook for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally to give the squash a chance to brown. By now the onions should be browning as well.
  • Push the seasoned delicata to one side to make space and add the cumin seeds and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir into the rest.
  • Push to the side again and add the tomato paste to caramelize for 2-3 minutes then add the water and stir well.
  • Add the chickpeas and the rest of the dry spices and bring to a boil, then turn to a simmer and let cook until the delicata is fork tender and the masala sauce is thick and gravy-like in consistency (around 10 minutes).
  • Garnish with cilantro and black pepper and serve with rice.
