Como fazer Bengali Spiced Squash

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6).
Cut one medium kabocha or butternut squash into 8-10 long wedges. Peel, remove seeds, and stringy fibers.
Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1-2 red chilies (finely chopped), and 1 inch ginger (grated) to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions soften.
Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon garam masala. Cook for 30 seconds.
Add the squash wedges to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Transfer the squash to a roasting tin. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
Serve hot as a side dish with roasted chicken (optional) and a refreshing mint raita (yogurt with chopped fresh mint).
