Another vote for butternut squash, it works really well.

Chunky aubergine,skinned and stewed in the curry is amazing.

It’s one of my favourites out of those suggested. I make ‘lasagne’ with butternut squash slices in place of pasta and also butternutsquashetti bolognese!

Oh now there’s another one I hadn’t thought of!

Chunks of swede? I love it mashed with butter and pepper and it doesnt affect my numbers like carrots do.

I can tolerate swede too and carrots. I always keep Tesco mashed carrot and swede in the freezer!

Low carb recipe, very easy using courgette - for me all the root veg like turnip, celeriac etc have too strong a flavour and would change the curry too much - the blander veg like butternut squash, aubergine and courgette would be a better bet

celeriac.

Radishes?

Another vote for celeriac. Or baby turnips? Not often seen but they're not as strong as the grown-up ones and kind of work as a substitute for the new pots.

Add the right herbs and spices and have chicken curry soup? just a thought..

Just chuck some curry paste in and make it chicken curry soup!

Massaman with potato is more common nowadays, but before potato became widely available in Thailand, yellow-fleshed sweet potato was a classic ingredient.

I’ve decided on butternut squash and I’m making it tomorrow. I’ll update on how it turns out

I make mine with butternut squash and add a side of steamed kale. The squash and kale are strangely good together.

I’m going for cauli rice this time but I might try kale next time, I haven’t had kale since I was a kid and my dad grew it in the garden!
