Submitted by Chef #420960

"Using the "true" version of crookneck squash- not the smooth soft yellow kind but the golden variety with tougher skin and plenty of warty bumps....a taste of fall a little early"

I did not have the garam marsala so bumped up the ginger a little and added black pepper. Super delicious!
