Sticky Tamarind Squash Curry with Coriander and Mint Dressing | Rebel Recipes (2)

A delicious spiced squash dish. Celebrating seasonal squash, roasted, then cooked in spices, tamarind and coconut milk. Topped with a fresh and zingy coriander and mint dressing – delicious!

This is the kind of meal I could eat every day, healthy, lightly spiced and easy to make. But adding the herby dressing really makes all the difference to the dish. I love to serve with some flatbread (of course).

I hope you love this one. Love, Niki xxx

    Hi Niki,
    I adore your site and have made many of the recipes.. I recently made this, but roasted augergine with the squash and used tomato sauce instead of the whole tomatoes. Delicious!! Also, I made the gram flour crepes from one of your other recipes for the flatbread.

  2. This looks and sounds delicious. Is the tamarind paste the same as tamarind concentrate?
    Thanks so much
