Recipe View Garnish and Serve: Transfer the cooked butternut squash cakes to a serving plate. Top each cake with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for added flavor and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a vegan option, substitute the egg with 2 tablespoons of applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes).
Adjust the amount of curry powder and cumin to your preferred spice level.
To prevent the cakes from sticking, ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding the squash mixture.
If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more corn flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
Experiment with different toppings such as a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
