• 1 each ginger freshly peeled, about 3 inches chunk
• 3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
• 1 each cinnamon sticks broken in half
• 1 each bay leaves
• 1 medium yellow onion diced
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 cup tomatoes whole and peeled in juice, roughly chopped
• 1 cup yogurt
• 2 cups water
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more for seasoning
• 2 large carrots cut into 2-inch chunks
• 2 small turnip peeled and quartered
• 1 pound butternut squash seeded and cut into 11/2 inch wedges

4. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
5. Stir in the cinnamon and bay leaf, garlic-ginger paste, curry powder and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Stir in the tomato and yogurt and cook, stirring, until they separate from the oil and there is a distinctive sizzling sound, 6 to 8 minutes.
7. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more.
8. Stir in the water, salt, and vegetables and bring to a boil.
9. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
10. Add the chickpeas, bring to a boil, and cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes more.
11. Season the curried vegetables with salt and pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
12. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with basmati rice and chutney if desired.
13. Enjoy.
