How to Prepare Chickpea, Cauliflower, and Butternut Squash Curry [Vegan]

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté over medium-low heat for 10 minutes until soft and lightly colored.
When the onions are tender, add the 4 tablespoons of curry paste, cooking and stirring for one minute. Add squash, cauliflower, chickpeas, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer covered for 35 minutes, or until the squash and cauliflower are tender, stirring occasionally.
The curry should have slightly thickened, if the sauce is too thick, uncover and cook for a few minutes over medium heat to reduce the sauce or add a little more water if it's too thick to adjust the consistency. Taste the sauce and add more salt as desired. Season with pepper, as needed.
Stir in the peas, spinach and cilantro leaves. Cook over low heat until spinach has gently wilted.
Serve with basmati rice and naan.
