Sweet curry squash

2 chopped yellow onions
entire butternut squash, diced (1/2 inch pieces)
1/2 cup cashews or macadamia nuts
oil
garlic
salt
sweet curry powder and other Indian spices
cardamom
red pepper flakes
lemon peel (or orange peel)

1/3 cup raisins
orange juice
honey

scallions to top

Cook onions with oil, salt, and Indian spices to transluscent, and set aside. Cook squash with oil and all spices to just short of soft (and definitely not mushy) and nuts to browned. Add onions back in, add raisins and splashes of orange juice, and drizzle on a bit of honey after orange juice has reduced. Sprinkle chopped scallions on top when serving.
