3 white zucchini (aka Lebanese zucchini)
1 tsp whole cumin
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 tomatoes (chopped)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp red chilli flakes
coriander leaves
green chillies
2 tbsp oil
Directions
- Chop the onions, tomatoes and zucchini.
- Heat the oil in a pan. Add cumin and fry on medium-low heat until it changes colour slightly and becomes fragrant (about 30 seconds). Don’t let it burn.
- Add the chopped onions and fry for a couple of minutes. You want it to be translucent but not start to change colour.
- Add the tomatoes and stir. Leave to cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes are soft. Cook till most of the water dries out.
- Add the chopped zucchini and spices. Stir to even out.
- Cover and cook for 20 minutes — until the zucchini cooks through.
- Cook uncovered for another 5-10 minutes — until the water dries out and oil rises to the top.
- Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and green chillies.
- Serve with Masoor Daal and steamed basmati rice. Also goes well with a simple chapati.
