Ingredients

1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 cup green lentils
1 can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
for fig raita:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup dried figs, chopped
1/4 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
Salt to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent.
Add the butternut squash and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the lentils, kidney beans, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, paprika, and chili powder (if desired). Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat the vegetables and lentils with the spices.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the squash and lentils are tender.
While the one-pot is cooking, prepare the fig raita. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped figs, cucumber, mint leaves, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve the squash, lentil, and bean one-pot hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves. Accompany with the fig raita on the side.
