This dish was a complete disaster. The carrots and butternut squash were mushy and the spices were overpowering.

The carrots and butternut squash were a bit too hard for my liking. I think I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

This dish is a little too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
