(This can be made in advance.)

Add butternut squash, madras curry powder and chicken stock, cook for 40 mins, with a lid on the pan, remove from the heat and liquidize with a hand blender.

Continue.

Place back on heat and add cumin, turmeric and coriander, cook for 1 min, add tomato and chicken, cook for 20 mins or until chicken has been cooked through. Add garam masala 5 min before serving.

Butternut squash Risotto is my fav sw meal

I agree- the risotto recipe in the extra easy cookbook is delicious - butternut squash with bacon. I've used lean ham or had a vegetarian version too. I've just made a big stock pot full of soup and I add lots of root vegetables with the squash.
