Sunny Zucchini Curry Recipes

SUNNY ZUCCHINI CURRY

Steps:

• Begin by heating the oil over medium and then adding in the leek. Allow it to cook for a few minutes and become tender, turning that beautiful shade of bright green. Add in the garlic and let that cook for a few minutes.
• Next add the turmeric, chili powder, fresh green chili and salt. Let that cook for just a few minutes then add in the zucchini.
• Add just enough water to the pot to nearly cover the zucchini, about 1/2 an inch below. Cover loosely and let that cook until the zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grind up the coconut flakes and cumin. A coffee grinder that you use for spices works best. You want it to be quite fine, even paste like.
• Once the zukes are cooked, stir in the coconut/cumin mixture - mix it in well. Turn off/move off the heat and then add in a few tbsp of creamer (or yogurt or coconut milk). Adjust seasoning.
• Cover loosely and let sit. The coconut needs some time to become tender -- otherwise it could feel chewy. It may seem thin at first, but it will thicken up a bit. You can always leave it to sit on the back burner for a while and reheat gently prior to serving if you like.

ZUCCHINI CURRY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• First off, dice the onions and garlic and grate the ginger.
• Then, add oil to a pan over medium heat and when warm, add in the diced onions and saute about 7 -10 minutes, stirring to keep the onions from burning.
• While the onions are sauteing, dice the zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
• Then add in the ginger, garlic and zucchini into the pan with the sauteed onions and saute about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Add in the coriander, cumin, smoked paprika and turmeric and stir so spices are well incorporated.
• Then, add in the tomato paste, vegetable stock and coconut milk and stir till all three have combined well. Once it has been mixed well, let this simmer about 3-5 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. If you'd like it a bit spicy, add in a teaspoon of chili powder and mix. Garnish with chopped cilantro and enjoy with roti or naan or rice.
• Enjoy!
