This looks so tasty! But I was wondering, is there any other way to prepare the butternut squash? I don’t own a steamer basket 🙈

Heyy Regina, thanks so much! 😊 And yes, there are totally other ways to prepare the butternut squash if you don’t have a steamer basket.
You can boil it in a pot of water for about 10 to 12 minutes until tender, or roast it for extra flavour by tossing the cubes in a little oil and baking at 400°F (200°C) for around 20 to 25 minutes. As long as the squash is nice and soft, it’ll blend well into the sauce💛

I personally steamed mine in the microwave! Put it in a microwave safe bowl, added a couple tablespoons of water, covered, and microwaved for 5 minutes.

Thanks for the replies! Will give it a try soon.

Really enjoyed the patties the lemon juice and yogurt made them extra tasty, next time I'll reduce the Garam masala a little. Thankyou
