We introduce a toy model of scalar particles with a trilinear scalar coupling in cosmology. The trilinear coupling phi(2)chi causes production of non-relativistic phi particles through the process chi chi -> phi phi where, initially, only relativistic chi particles are present. We consider the initial times of chi chi -> phi phi and observe that the curved space effects promote formation of Bose-Einstein condensate of phi particles.
