1 - I made this just once with all sorts of little changes, and it looks like it worked well.
2 - The second try was successful and good. Served it with the radish leaf curry.
2 tsps. mild oil
½ tsp cumin seeds
2 green chillies finely chopped or 1 good pinch red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp ginger, finely grated
1 Tbsp garlic, finely grated
⅛ tsp asafoetida (hing) optional
1 medium onion (6oz/170gr) finely chopped
2 medium zucchini cut into ½ inch pieces (about 20oz)
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp garam masala powder
salt to taste
Juice from 1 lemon 1 teaspoon amchur powder (dry mango powder) (OR lemon juice)
2 Tbsps coriander leaves (cilantro)
- Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds to toast.
- When cumin is fragrant add the ginger and the garlic, the chillies and asafoetida. Saute for 30 seconds till the raw smell of ginger and garlic disappears.
- Add the onion and cook until they soften.
- Add the chopped zucchini, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix everything well.
- Cover and cook over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, till fork tender. Stir in between. Zucchini contains 95% of water so you may not need to add extra water while cooking, but use your judgment to avoid scorching the spices.
- Once the zucchini is cooked add the lemon juice and coriander leaves.
- Mix well and serve with roti, paratha, or rice.
