Bengali Squash in Coconut Milk

Don’t be fooled by this simple Bengali curry that contains very few spices: Its flavor is not so simple! Given the right spice, the appropriate cooking technique, and a suitable sauce, an easy, homespun dish can be nothing short of spectacular. You don’t have to take my word for it: It speaks for itself when you taste that first spoonful (or finger-full if you use your hand to eat, just like a good little Indian).
