Directions:

1. ) Bake squash on 350 degrees for 1 hour or until tender
2. ) Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and sauté another minute, then add spices stirring until fragrant.
3. ) Add coconut mixture to the pan and reduce to simmer, meanwhile break up squash into pieces and add to pan, mashing slightly with spoon.
