Chicken and squash Malaysian curry

Like all curries, this eats even better the next day, once the flavours have settled. If you’re not eating it straight away, reduce the cooking time in the penultimate step to 10 minutes (to allow the squash to finish cooking when reheating it). Any leftover sauce eaten with rice and a fried egg or two is one of life’s simple pleasures
