Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Lightly oil a 20cm/8in square cake tin with a removable base. If using, rub the potatoes with a thin layer of oil, and sprinkle with salt. Prick them all over with a fork and bake in the oven for 45–55 minutes, or until tender when gently squeezed. Meanwhile, make the tart. One at a time, lightly brush a filo pastry sheet with a little of the oil and place in the tin, pressing gently into the base and up the sides of the tin.

Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Toss the butternut squash with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper then spread the chunks out on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through and tender. Meanwhile, add the shallot and garlic to a large frying pan with a little oil and cook over a medium heat until soft. Then add the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, garam masala and curry powder and cook for a few more minutes, until fragrant.
