Curried Squash Rotis

I need a VACATION!!!!!!!!
A roti is just a flatbread, such as a tortilla or naan. It is rolled up to hold a filling. We had these once in a Carribean airport. Fillings can be made with chunks of potato, seitan, or in this case, squash. The spices are warm and savory for a chilly January supper.

2 TBSP canola oil
3-4 cloves garlic
1 chili pepper, seeded and minced
1 onion, diced
4 C butternut squash, diced
2 C water
2 TBSP curry powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 15-oz can chick peas, rinsed

Saute garlic, onion and chili pepper. Add squash, water and seasonings. Cook until squash is soft, about 20 minutes (do not overcook the squash). Add chickpeas and stir gently, cooking for about 10 more minutes. Spoon filling into warmed tortilla, naan, or homemade chapati!
