Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large zucchini
3 tablespoons bengal gram flour (besan)
salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain, bishop's weed)
3 tablespoons cooking oil

Steps:

  • Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat dry. Now cut into quarters lengthwise and then dice into 1" pieces.
  • Put the cut zucchini into a large mixing bowl. Add the bengal gram flour, turmeric, cumin and red chilli powders, salt to taste and mix well to coat all the zucchini pieces.
  • Keep aside for later.
  • Heat the oil in a deep pan on a medium flame, till hot.
  • Add the cumin and ajwain seeds and cook till they stop spluttering. Now add the zucchini and mix well.
  • Simmer the flame and cook till the bengal gram flour coating is cooked - it will look golden and give off a cooked aroma. Ideally the zucchini will also be cooked by this time.
  • Serve hot with Chapatis or rice and your favorite Daal.
