Peel the butternut squash, slice it in half and, using a spoon, remove the seeds. Chop the squash into bite-size pieces. Peel and slice the shallots. Slice the green chilli in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Slice the tomatoes into wedges.
Heat a large pan or pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the mustard seeds, turmeric, cayenne (spicy!), shallots, garlic paste, and green chilli (spicy!) and cook for 2 min.
Add the butternut squash, cashew nuts, tomatoes, vegetable stock cube, coconut milk, cinnamon stick, curry leaves and measured water to the pot. Cover with a lid and cook for 20 min, stirring occasionally, or until the squash is tender. Add a splash of water, if needed.
Meanwhile, add the basmati rice, the measured water and a pinch of salt to a pan with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Keep covered until serving. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Slice the lime into wedges. Serve the squash curry over the basmati rice. Garnish with a wedge of lime.

This one reheats well! Have the leftovers for lunch the following day.
