Ingredients For Zucchini Recipes

I was tempted to put the onions and tomatoes in grams, but this dish allows for a lot of variation and I wanted the recipe to reflect that. What you need to know about the ingredients:

  • Green Chilies - You can use serrano, thai, or any other suitable green chili. You only need a small amount to add just the right amount of spiciness and flavor.
  • Red Chili Powder – vegetables zucchini is Pakistani and Indian-style red chili powder. Substitute the cayenne pepper if you don't have it. Since the level of spiciness of red chili powder varies from brand to brand, start with the smallest amount and increase as needed.
  • Onions - This recipe works well with sliced onions (similar to okra curry), which add to the overall flavor and texture. For large onions, you may prefer to quarter them before slicing. If you prefer to chop them finely, that's fine too.
  • recipes zucchini (Zucchini) - Traditionally peeled, but you can leave them unpeeled if you'd like. Just keep in mind that unpeeled zucchini will take a little longer to dissolve in the curry.

How To Make Zucchini Curry?

Step 1: Fry the onions until golden brown. Don't over-brown them, as once you add the garlic and ginger, the onions will darken even further.
Step 2: Add tomatoes, salt and spices. Once the tomatoes are soft, add the zucchini along with some water.
Step 3: Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes. When the zucchini is soft and the water has dried, break the zucchini into pieces with a wooden spoon.
Step 4 - Reduce the heat, cover the zucchini and let them cook for another 15-20 minutes. Reveal excess moisture and sauté, breaking up any remaining bits with your spoon.



How To Know When It's Cook?

For the last dish, the water content of the zucchini shouldn't be swimming around. If in doubt, sauté a little longer. Once the oil separates from the curry and the zucchini is very well cooked, you're done!

A note: several people have shared photos of their finished product with a little more "curry" and not quite reduced. If you prefer it that way, that's fine too. make it yours.
