5.  Add the butternut squash, garlic and ginger to the food processor and pulse a few times until very finely chopped

7.  Add in the spices, tomato paste and tomatoes and cook the spices for a couple of minutes.
8.  Add in the beef, lentils, green chillis, water and salt, bring to a boil and then simmer for 1.5 hours, (beef should be lovely and tender and the sauce rich). If you like your dhansak curry more liquidy, you can add in a little more water if needed. Check it half way through cooking time.
