I made this, tired and short on time for making dinner, with some substitutions (what I had on hand)... And I loved it! I used one red onion, finely diced, and 5 teaspoons ginger and garlic paste, and ras el hanout instead of cayenne. This was super delicious, and I'll make it again. Thank you!

This is the best winter squash recipe I’ve found, not loaded up with cream butter and nutmeg per usual. The flavors are very fresh and she’s right not to overcook, the grated kabocha took a little less than 7.
