Instructions

Prepare butternut squash by trimming ends, peeling, deseeding, and chopping into bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop garlic and grate ginger; set aside.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds, cover, and cook until they pop (about 2 minutes).
Stir in garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add squash, salt, and 1/2 cup water to the pan. Stir, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender; add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
Stir in cilantro, if desired, and serve hot or warm.
