Vegan Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry

Recipesfull introduces to you: Indian Recipes. (Vegan Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry). This is a delicious vegetable curry with chickpeas and butternut squash, but you can use any other pumpkin as well. If you're not vegan, yogurt tastes great with it, or you can use soy yogurt instead of course. I like to use dried chickpeas and cook them myself instead of canned, but you can of course use canned chickpeas as well.
