How To Prepare This Vegan Butternut Squash Curry With Red Kidney Beans?

I bought diced butternut squash from the store so I had to just use the slices which made things so easy for me. If you fresh butternut squash, you can peel, remove the seeds and dice them evenly to use for this recipe.

If you find it hard to peel and cut a butternut squash, you can bake them in advance and then cut them easily which can be used for recipes.

You can see here a detailed post on how to cut the butternut squash easily by baking or roasting the squash in advance.

If you are using already roasted squash, slightly adjust the cooking time by cooking the kidney beans first and then cooking the squash for few more minutes, instead of cooking them together.

Once you have the butternut squash diced and ready, you can start preparing the red kidney beans to make the dish by soaking the dry beans in water.

If you are using canned kidney beans, you can skip this step of soaking the beans in water.

I used dry red kidney beans, which I soaked overnight (you have to soak the dry kidney beans at least 6 to 8 hours) and used it to prepare the curry the next day.

So once you have your soaked beans and diced squash, which you can do in advance, (or use canned beans and already diced squash from store to make things more easier) you can easily make this vegan butternut squash curry using a pressure cooker or instant pot.

Red kidney beans is very high in protein and makes a very rich source of natural plant based protein and other nutrients especially for those following vegan and vegetarian diets.

However make sure to use cooked red kidney beans in recipes as the raw kidney beans is slightly toxic.

Red kidney beans curry for rice, known as rajma curry (recipe here) is very popular in India, which makes a very simple and delicious red kidney bean curry for rice.

So here is how I made this easy, yummy and vegan butternut squash curry following this easy one pot vegan butternut squash curry recipe with red kidney beans.
