I know I should include more vegetables in my diet and every once in a while I try to explore potential ways to cook and eat certain vegetables that I otherwise would not touch with the proverbial 10 foot pole. Zucchini, cucumber and squash are vegetables that I never eat, fresh or otherwise. But having seen so many delish looking cucumber/squash/zucchini recipes on other blogs inspired me to give this a try. So while grocery shopping, I picked up a zucchini and made curry out of it. I have already made this curry three times now.
Ingredients:
1 zucchini (250 g)
1 onion
2-3 green chilis
2 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 cups water
2 tbs coconut cream
Lemon juice to taste
Salt to taste
1 spring of curry leaves
Method:
Wash and peel the skin off with a potato peeler. Cut the zucchini lengthwise first and then cut it in cubes. Cut the onion, green chili and the garlic cloves. Heat some oil in a pan, add the cumin and allow to splutter. Add the onion, green chilis, garlic and curry leaves until fragrant and translucent. Then add the zucchini and saute for a minute or so. Add the turmeric powder and stir until well blended. Add the water and salt. Cook the zucchini until soft. Lastly, add the coconut cream and few drops of lemon juice, taste and adjust the seasoning, before taking the curry away from the stove. Serve warm with rice.
