PURéED ZUCCHINI SOUP WITH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and the zucchini and stir for about a minute, until the garlic smells fragrant. Add the curry powder, stir together, and add the stock or water, the rice and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt.
• Purée the soup with an immersion blender or a food mill or in batches in a blender, taking care to remove the lid or take out the center insert and to cover with a towel to avoid hot splashes. Return to the pot, heat through, add pepper and cayenne to taste and stir in the lemon juice. Serve, garnishing each bowl with paper-thin slices of zucchini, chopped chives and croutons if desired.

• Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, allowing oil to drain off and place in another dish for later use.
• Turn your heat down to a low heat and add the garlic paste, ginger powder, and curry powder, and allow to sauté for approximately 2-3 minutes.
• Add chopped tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, and water, and then turn the heat up to around medium high.
• Add the zucchini and potatoes mixture and allow to cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy!
• Serve with chappatis!
• If you feel that you've made it too thick, you can always add a tiny bit of water to thin it out a little.
• If you find that adding a little water makes it too bland, you can always add some curry powder and some salt and pepper and heat for a few minutes.
• You will just need to taste test for your preferred flavor and thickness-- ENJOY!

LEMONGRASS COCONUT CURRY SOUP WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add coconut oil, lemongrass, green curry paste, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add broth and water to the saucepan with the lemongrass mixture and bring to a boil. Add spiralized zucchini noodles, mushrooms, snow peas, bok choy, scallions, and lime juice. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
• Season soup with salt and pepper. Add cilantro. Stir to combine, adjust seasoning if needed, and ladle into bowls.

ZUCCHINI "MEATBALLS"-VEGETARIAN CURRY - MADHUR JAFFREY

Steps:

• 'Meatballs'.
• Wash, trim and grate the zucchini - use the regular grate size on your grater, grating too fine may make it too soggy. Put into a bowl and sprinkle with the 1/2 tsp salt. Set aside for about 1/2 an hour.
• Once the zucchini has sat for about 1/2 an hour, squeeze out as much liquid as you can, using your hands or pressing through a fine mesh colander. Reserve the liquid you press out, it will be used in the gravy.
• Dry out the bowl and put the zucchini back in, add the minced chili, onion, ginger and 2 tbsp of the cilantro (reserve the rest of the cilantro for garnish).
• Sift the chickpea flour over the zucchini mixture. Mix well and form into about 20 balls. If they're too large, they won't cook well in the middle unless you fully immerse them in oil. I prefer to use as little oil as possible for frying, so I flatten them out a bit to make frying easier.
• In a skillet or wok heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, put in about 5 or 6 of the balls - or as many will fit in one layer with room around each of them. Fry for about 2 minutes, turning them until you get a nice even brown coat. I suggest you test one to get a feel for how long it will take to fully cook inside since it really depends on how large you make them, and how much oil is in your pan.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and leave to drain on paper towel. Continue with the rest of the 'meatballs', then set aside.
• 'Gravy'.
• Use about 5 tbsp of the oil from the frying and put into a skillet or saute pan. Heat the oil over medium heat and add onion once the oil is hot. Fry the onion for about 7 or 8 minutes, or until the onion begins to brown and become translucent. Take care not to burn the onion. Once cooked, take the pan off the heat for a moment and add the turmeric, cayenne, ground cumin and coriander. Stir and then return to the heat.
• Add the tomatoes and let that cook for about 5 minutes to combine flavours.
• Add 1 cup of the zucchini 'juice' -- if you are short, top up with water to reach 1 cup.
• Bring to a boil the lower the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Up to this point, you could prepare the recipe in advance.
• To finish, (reheat if you have made in advance), add the cream, garam masala, roasted cumin and salt. (To roast the cumin, just put it in a dry really hot pan for a few minutes taking care not to burn). Mix sauce well and bring to a simmer.
• Add the 'meatballs' and gently spoon the sauce over them, trying not to break any of them. The meatballs turn soft in the sauce, so only cook enough to warm them through and then serve immediately with basmati rice and/or roti or naan bread. Garnish with the reserved fresh cilantro and cashews if using.

CREAMY CURRY ZUCCHINI SOUP

Steps:

• Fry onions, leak and curry in the oil, about 3 minutes.
• In another pan, cook potatoes and zucchini in 2 cups of the vegetable broth for 15-20 minutes.

• Puree the soup either by hand or in a blender.
• Add the rest of the vegetable broth (2 cups) and heat the soup to boiling point.

CREAMY COCONUT CHICKPEA CURRY WITH SWEET CORN & ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Start your rice first thing so that it's ready when your curry's ready.
• Set a large saute pan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When warm, add the onion along with a pinch of salt. Cook, continuing over low heat, stirring occasionally, to sweat the onions (make them tender but not browned), about 8 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil along with the garlic, curry powder, and cayenne if using. Stir frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the ginger and zucchini along with another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini begins to get tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chickpeas and corn and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 more minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Add the coconut milk, tahini, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine. The tahini might appear to be clumpy, but it will meld in with the ingredients when warm.
• Bring to BARELY a simmer - do not let boil! If you let the curry boil, the coconut milk gets too hot and the curry will have a grainy appearance. Cook low and slow, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and the zucchini and corn are tender, 6-8 minutes.
• Stir in lemon juice and cilantro. Taste and add more salt if desired (it will probably need another 1/4 teaspoon at least - I intentionally call for a small amount of salt so that you can adjust to your tastes at the end). At this point, you can also stir in more cayenne if you'd like a bit more heat.
• To serve, divide rice between bowls, then spoon curry over the top. Garnish with cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

• Mix grated ginger, cumin, coriander, mustard seeds, ground cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix spice mixture into onions until coated.

EASY ZUCCHINI AND CAULIFLOWER CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• 1.Heat oil in large sauté pan. Add cumin seeds if using. When they sizzle, add the asafetida if using. 2. Immediately add chopped onions. Cook on medium heat till the onions are lightly browned. 3. While the onions are cooking, puree the tomatoes. Place the canned tomatoes in a blender. Fill the empty tomato can with water, pour this into the blender as well. Puree well. You should have about 30 oz of puree now. Set aside. 4. When the onions are browned, add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. 5. Add curry powder and stir another 10 seconds. Then pour in pureed tomatoes and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high, partially cover the pan with a lid and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes or till the sauce thickens a little. Careful, the sauce will bubble and splatter. 6. While the sauce is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cut the zucchini into 3/4th inch rounds. Peel and cut the carrot into ½ inch pieces. Break up the cauliflower into florets. 7. Toss the vegetables in the curry sauce, cover and cook till the zucchini is soft, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in the coconut milk. For an extra creamy curry, add 1/2 cup coconut milk instead of the 1/4 stated in this recipe. Garnish with chopped cilantro or mint. Serve hot with brown rice or roti or pita bread. My grandmothers multi colored raita goes well with this dish.
