FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Cook the squash:
  - Either in the microwave with a little water for 2 minutes at 600W
  - Or on the stovetop
  It should be tender.
• 2.   Fry in oil:
  - Onions
  - Garlic
  - Ginger
  Until the onions are cooked.
• 3.   Add the meat until it is almost cooked.
• 4.   Add:
  - Curry
  - Soy sauce
  Cook until dry.
• 5.   Add the squash; if it was cooked on the stovetop (or not), make sure there is as little water as possible (and therefore cook the meat less if necessary).
  Add ketchup.
• 6.   Continue cooking until only a fairly dry and compact paste remains.
• 7.   - Spread butter on one side of each slice.
  - Stick them together face to face to facilitate assembly.
  - Spread the filling generously.
  - Place the slice of cheese.
• 8.   If you have a croque monsieur machine, that's perfect, so the buttered sides should be on the outside.
  
  Otherwise, take the first slice of bread (with the filling on top) and place it in a pan (butter side down), then cover with the other piece of bread with the butter side up.
• 9.   Grill one side of the sandwich slowly and then flip it over to brown both sides of the bread.

Notes & Suggestions

• The "authentic" recipe does not include:
  - Butternut squash, but rather Japanese squash (kabocha squash).
  - "Indian" curry, but rather Japanese curry.
